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.

Latest Stable Version Total Downloads

WordPress project skeleton to focus only your own source codes because of composer-friendly design. Inspired by markjaquith/WordPress-Skeleton.

Advantages compared to WordPress-Skeleton:

Requirements

Installation

You can use Japanese or English environment as you like.

Note: For Windows

On Windows environment, maybe you need to use console (like cmd.exe) as an administrator user for creating symlink.

If you still have any symlink related problem, please create-project in following way :bow:

Usage

WordPress core will be installed in /wp/ so root directory of your website will be /wp/. (e.g. "http://example.com/project-name/wp/")

If you want to hide /wp/ from URL you should set DocumentRoot to /path/to/project/wp/.

Now you can create your own theme in /wp-content/themes/ and install some plugins into /wp-content/plugins/ via composer (as described in the next chapter). And your git repository doesn't manage /wp/ so you can focus only your own source codes in /wp-content/themes.

Installing plugins via composer

Using WordPress Packagist

You can use WordPress Packagist to install plugins (or themes) via composer like below:

Installing plugins form GitHub or zip file

You can also install some plugins (which isn't on WordPress.org) from GitHub repository, zip file, and so on. To do that you should add package with "type": "wordpress-plugin" and require it like below:

Backing up database and uploaded files

/backup/ directory is just for saving (and version-managing) database and uploaded files. If you need, you can save them here like below:

Mechanism, FYI

After install/update "wordpress" package, a symlink will be created in /wp/ environment as shown below:

And on WordPress's booting process, /wp/wp-content/my-theme will be enabled as an additional theme directory by following process:

  1. WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR points /wp-content/mu-plugins because of customizing in /wp-config.php.
  2. In /wp-content/mu-plugins/add-skeleton-theme-directory.php, theme directory is added with register_theme_directory() function.

Just to tell you, /wp-config.php (and /local-config.php) need not be symlinked into /wp/ because they will loaded from /wp/wp-load.php during WordPress' normal booting process.
