FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package foehn-starter

Foehn Starter Theme

A minimal WordPress theme powered by Føhn: the boot, the configuration, the templates a theme cannot render without, and the front-end build. Nothing else.

That is deliberate. A starting point you delete half of is worse than one you add to, so what is here is what every project needs, and the demonstrations live in studiometa/foehn-demo — every attribute the framework ships, in a working theme you can read.

Note This package is part of the Føhn Framework monorepo. Please report issues and submit pull requests in the main repository.

Quick start with DDEV

DDEV starts PHP 8.5, MariaDB and nginx, copies .env.example to .env, runs composer install (which generates web/, the symlinks and wp-config.php), installs WordPress with admin / admin, and activates the theme.

Quick start without DDEV

Then point your web server's document root at web/.

What is here

Every class here is one a theme needs before it renders anything: the controllers that answer WordPress's template hierarchy, the menus the header and footer templates read, the context provider that puts current_year in the footer, and the theme supports.

foehn.config.php opts into the framework's own cleanup and security hooks — CleanHeadTags, DisableEmoji, DisableOembed, DisableVersionDisclosure, DisableXmlRpc, GenericLoginErrors, YouTubeNoCookieHooks — and turns the discovery cache on.

Adding to it

Or read the demo, which has one of everything already written.

Front-end

There is no JavaScript test setup here, because there is no JavaScript to test yet. The demo has one configured with Vitest and Playwright, ready to copy.

Tests

The smoke test asks the one question this package has to answer: does a project created from it boot and serve a page? On 2026-08-19 the answer was no, with 1409 unit tests passing — those run against WordPress function stubs, so a discovery that registers nothing at all still passes them.
