Feel free to make improvements to this. It's very (very) loosely based on how Bedrock approach things, but with a much more simplified method for differentiating between dev/staging/production databases. If you like Bedrock, then great! It's pretty awesome, so fill your boots. But if, like me, you find it a little over complicated, then this framework/approach might be more up your alley as I've deliberately tried to keep it all really simple. You can get up and running with a complete WordPress environment in about a minute. Basic installation instructions ------------------------------- [](#basic-installation-instructions) - Create a new repository for your project - Download this as a zip file and unzip into the repository - - Open a terminal and browse to the folder you are using - Install Composer - - Install Node - - Install Bower - - Install Yarn - - Rename .env-example to .env and fill out the relevant fields. - Once you have Composer installed, then you need to run `$ composer install`. This will install all the base plugins and a seed theme into the correct directories. - Send an initial commit to your repository - Get started. Use Composer to install ----------------------- [](#use-composer-to-install) To use the package file ``` composer create-project asha23/arlo-timber-framework your-folder-name ``` Requirements ============ [](#requirements) You should get a license for Advanced Custom Fields pro for this framework as it is a key part of how it works. Getting started =============== [](#getting-started) There is a Vagrant file in the folder which uses a version of Scotchbox for Vagrant: Run `vagrant up` from the root folder (Not currently tested) - Your website will then be available on ``` 192.168.33.10 ``` #### The following information should be used to connect to the database [](#the-following-information-should-be-used-to-connect-to-the-database) MySql Host: 127.0.0.1 Username: root Password: root SSH Host: 192.168.33.10 SSH User: vagrant SSH Password: vagrant Alternatively, just use MAMP. Or something like , which provides an excellent and user-friendly environment for locally developing with WordPress. Or any other method you like for deploying locally. Vagrant is the recommended method as it keeps everything self contained. .env-example file ----------------- [](#env-example-file) There is a `.env-example` file in the root. You should fill out the relevant information in this file and then re-save it as `.env`. Once you have done this, you can then edit the web/wp-config.php file and add salts, or do other configurations. There is information for 3 environments contained here, development, production and staging. Filling out this information correctly will make sites easier to deploy as it will auto-detect which database to use depending on your environment. Add your ACF Pro key to here as well. Notes on the .gitignore. ------------------------ [](#notes-on-the-gitignore) This installation by default ignores everything but your theme. You will need to create a deployment of wordpress on your production environment and run composer install. If you can't do this simply upload the files as required. I decided to not include all the WordPress stuff in the repo because in the most part it's an uneccesary step really. Feel free to edit the `.gitignore` file though if you want to change this. Notes about the seed theme -------------------------- [](#notes-about-the-seed-theme) [You can view the seed theme repo here](https://github.com/asha23/wp-seed-timber) This theme uses Gulp for compilation and Bower for JavaScript dependency management. It is also based around SASS Bootstrap 3. The main folder structure is as follows: ``` web/content web/wp ``` The content folder contains all the themes, plugins and files for the front-end. The wp folder is the base WordPress installation - You should not change anything in here. ### Arlo? What? [](#arlo-what) Arlo is the name of my son.
