This `install.php` dropin doesn't install bloat from default install.php and sets a few opionated wp options.

It doesn't send you email after installing new WordPress either.

Current options
---------------

[](#current-options)

- Set empty page as Front page
- Don't use any widgets
- Use empty blog description ( if someone forgots to change that )
- Use `/%category%/%postname%/` permalink
- Don't install any articles

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

[](#installation)

You can copy `install.php` to your `wp-content` folder. Just plug&play.

OR you can use composer so that you can automatically update it too. Put these in your composer.json:

```
{
    "require": {
        "devgeniem/better-wp-install-dropin": "^1.0"
    },
    "extra": {
        "dropin-paths": {
            "htdocs/wp-content/": ["type:wordpress-dropin"],
        }
    }
}
```
