WPackagist is included as a repository, as well as custom installer paths for all wp-composer packages. This is a fork. 3.7.1(12y ago)016GPL-2.0PHPPHP >=5.3.0 Since Nov 22Pushed 11y agoCompare [ Source](https://github.com/buzzedword/WordPress-Skeleton)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/buzzedword/wordpress-skeleton)[ RSS](/packages/buzzedword-wordpress-skeleton/feed)WikiDiscussions master Synced 2w ago READMEChangelogDependencies (2)Versions (3)Used By (0) WordPress Skeleton ================== [](#wordpress-skeleton) This is simply a skeleton repo for a WordPress site. Use it to jump-start your WordPress site repos, or fork it and customize it to your own liking! Assumptions ----------- [](#assumptions) - WordPress as a Git submodule in `/wp/` - Custom content directory in `/content/` (cleaner, and also because it can't be in `/wp/`) - `wp-config.php` in the root (because it can't be in `/wp/`) - All writable directories are symlinked to similarly named locations under `/shared/`. - Composer is either installed globally, or this project has been installed as a new composer project. Installation ------------ [](#installation) `composer install --prefer-dist` Questions & Answers ----------------------- [](#questions--answers) **Q:** Will you accept pull requests? **A:** Maybe — if I think the change is useful. I primarily made this for my own use, and thought people might find it useful. If you want to take it in a different direction and make your own customized skeleton, then just maintain your own fork. **Q:** Why the `/shared/` symlink stuff for uploads? **A:** For local development, create `/shared/` (it is ignored by Git), and have the files live there. For production, have your deploy script (Capistrano is my choice) look for symlinks pointing to `/shared/` and repoint them to some outside-the-repo location (like an NFS shared directory or something). This gives you separation between Git-managed code and uploaded files. **Q:** What version of WordPress does this track? **A:** The latest stable release. Send a pull request if I fall behind. **Q:** What's the deal with `local-config.php`? **A:** It is for local development, which might have different MySQL credentials or do things like enable query saving or debug mode. This file is ignored by Git, so it doesn't accidentally get checked in. If the file does not exist (which it shouldn't, in production), then WordPress will used the DB credentials defined in `wp-config.php`. **Q:** What is `memcached.php`? **A:** This is for people using memcached as an object cache backend. It should be something like: ``. Programattic generation of this file is recommended. **Q:** Does this support WordPress in multisite mode? **A:** It will, starting with WordPress 3.5 (due out in December, 2012). Earlier versions of WordPress don't support Multisite when WordPress is in a subdirectory. ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 41% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 80% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
