cubetech Sofa is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure. This project is a fork from roots/bedrock

Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the [Twelve-Factor App](http://12factor.net/) methodology including the [WordPress specific version](https://roots.io/twelve-factor-wordpress/).

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Better folder structure
- Dependency management with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org)
- Easy WordPress configuration with environment specific files
- Environment variables with [Dotenv](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv)
- Autoloader for mu-plugins (use regular plugins as mu-plugins)
- Enhanced security (separated web root and secure passwords with [wp-password-bcrypt](https://github.com/roots/wp-password-bcrypt))

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 5.6
- Composer - [Install](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Create a new project in a new folder for your project:

`composer create-project roots/bedrock your-project-folder-name`

2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and update environment variables:

- `DB_NAME` - Database name
- `DB_USER` - Database user
- `DB_PASSWORD` - Database password
- `DB_HOST` - Database host
- `WP_ENV` - Set to environment (`development`, `staging`, `production`)
- `WP_HOME` - Full URL to WordPress home ()
- `WP_SITEURL` - Full URL to WordPress including subdirectory ()
- `AUTH_KEY`, `SECURE_AUTH_KEY`, `LOGGED_IN_KEY`, `NONCE_KEY`, `AUTH_SALT`, `SECURE_AUTH_SALT`, `LOGGED_IN_SALT`, `NONCE_SALT`

If you want to automatically generate the security keys (assuming you have wp-cli installed locally) you can use the very handy [wp-cli-dotenv-command](https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-dotenv-command):

```
  wp package install aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-dotenv-command

  wp dotenv salts regenerate

```

Or, you can cut and paste from the [Roots WordPress Salt Generator](https://roots.io/salts.html).

3. Add theme(s) in `web/app/themes` as you would for a normal WordPress site.
4. Set your site vhost document root to `/path/to/site/web/` (`/path/to/site/current/web/` if using deploys)
5. Access WP admin at `http://example.com/wp/wp-admin`

Deploys
-------

[](#deploys)

There are one method supported by cubetech to deploy Sofa sites out of the box:

- [bedrock-capistrano](https://github.com/roots/bedrock-capistrano)

Any other deployment method can be used as well with one requirement:

`composer install` must be run as part of the deploy process.
