Gutenberg ready. A Demo is available [here](http://wordpress-boilerplate.dotsunited.de/). Features -------- [](#features) - [Maximum possible PageSpeed Insights score](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwordpress-boilerplate.dotsunited.de%2F&tab=mobile) - [Bun](https://bun.sh) for fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime - [Vite](https://github.com/vitejs/vite) for asset bundling - [Composer](https://github.com/composer/composer) for PHP dependency management - [Tailwind CSS](https://github.com/tailwindcss/tailwindcss) for utility-first CSS - Clean, maintainable and scalable project structure - No bloat Setup ----- [](#setup) Create a new project with: ``` composer create-project dotsunited/wordpress-boilerplate my-project ``` Docker ------ [](#docker) Adjust the `docker-compose.yml` to your needs using a `docker-compose.override.yml` file (). You can add a database dump using a `dump.sql.gz` or `dump.sql` file which will be imported on the first run. If a database dump is present, a new user with the following credentials will be automatically added: ``` Username: `localAdmin` Password: `localPassword` ``` > ⚠️ Remember to remove or change the credentials in a production environment! Multisite subfolders can be be configured by setting the `WORDPRESS_MULTISITE_PATHS` environment variable to e.g. `2=blog2,3=blog3`, resulting in the following URLs: - - - If nothing is set, the ID of the corresponding blog will be used as a path, resulting in the following URLs: - - - Start the Docker containers with ``` docker compose up -d ``` Plugins ------- [](#plugins) > ℹ️ Automatic updates for plugins, themes and major core versions are disabled by default. You can enable them by removing or commenting the corresponding module inside `wp-content/mu-plugins/wordpress-boilerplate/wordpress-boilerplate.php`. If you uncommented sentry lines in `docker-compose.yml` install [WP Sentry](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-sentry-integration/) Be careful when using plugins which depend on jQuery. Gravity Forms for example will enqueue jquery once a form is embedded into a post or page. In this case, you might include the form via an iFrame. You can use the [gravity-forms-iframe](https://github.com/bradyvercher/gravity-forms-iframe)plugin for easier integration. Webfonts -------- [](#webfonts) It is recommended to use local webfonts and not from external CDN's like Google Fonts. You can use [google-webfonts-helper](https://gwfh.mranftl.com/fonts)to download webfonts from Google Fonts. License ------- [](#license) Copyright (c) 2015-2025 Dots United GmbH.
