Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure.
Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the Twelve-Factor App methodology including the WordPress specific version.
- Better folder structure
- Dependency management with Composer
- Easy WordPress configuration with environment specific files
- Environment variables with Dotenv
- Autoloader for mu-plugins (use regular plugins as mu-plugins)
Use Trellis for additional features:
- Easy development environments with Vagrant
- Easy server provisioning with Ansible (Ubuntu 14.04, PHP 5.6 or HHVM, MariaDB)
- One-command deploys
- PHP >= 5.5
- Composer - Install
- Clone the git repo -
git clone https://github.com/roots/bedrock.git - Run
composer install - Copy
.env.exampleto.envand update environment variables:
DB_NAME- Database nameDB_USER- Database userDB_PASSWORD- Database passwordDB_HOST- Database hostWP_ENV- Set to environment (development,staging,production)WP_HOME- Full URL to WordPress home (http://example.com)WP_SITEURL- Full URL to WordPress including subdirectory (http://example.com/wp)
- Add theme(s) in
web/app/themesas you would for a normal WordPress site. - Set your site vhost document root to
/path/to/site/web/(/path/to/site/current/web/if using deploys) - Access WP admin at
http://example.com/wp/wp-admin
There are two methods to deploy Bedrock sites out of the box:
Any other deployment method can be used as well with one requirement:
composer install must be run as part of the deploy process.
