Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` $ composer create-project handpressed/wp-multitenancy-add-site {directory} $ cd {directory} ``` Replace `{directory}` with the name of your new WordPress project, e.g. its domain name. Composer will symlink the existing WordPress instance added with WP Multitenancy Boilerplate in `/var/opt/wp` to `web/wp` (see [Directory Structure](#directory-structure)). Composer will also symlink `/var/opt/wp/wp-content/themes` to `web/app/themes`, `/var/opt/wp/wp-content/plugins` to `web/app/plugins` and `/var/opt/wp/wp-content/mu-plugins` to `web/app/mu-plugins`. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Open the `conf/.env` file and add the new site's home URL (`WP_HOME`) and database credentials (`DB_NAME`, `DB_USER`, `DB_PASSWORD`). You can also define the database `$table_prefix` (default is `wp_`) if required. Set the site's vhost document root to `/path/to/{directory}/web`. ### Themes [](#themes) Add themes in `web/app/themes` as you would for a normal WordPress install. You can use the WordPress admin to update them. ### Plugins [](#plugins) [WordPress Packagist](https://wpackagist.org) is already registered in the `composer.json` file so any plugins from the [WordPress Plugin Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) can easily be required. To add a plugin, use `composer require /` from the command-line. If it's from WordPress Packagist then the namespace is always `wpackagist-plugin`, e.g.: ``` $ composer require wpackagist-plugin/wp-optimize ``` Whenever you add a new plugin or update WordPress core, run `composer update` to install your new packages. Themes and plugins are installed in the symlinked `themes` and `plugins` directories in `/var/opt/wp/wp-content` and will be available to all multitenancy sites. Note: Some plugins may make modifications to the core `wp-config.php` file. Any modifications to `wp-config.php` that are needed by an individual site should be moved to the site's `conf/wp-constants.php` file. ### Constants [](#constants) Put custom core, theme and plugin constants in `conf/wp-constants.php`. Directory Structure ------------------- [](#directory-structure) ``` ├── composer.json → Manage versions of WordPress, plugins and dependencies ├── conf → WordPress configuration files │ ├── .env → WordPress environment variables (WP_HOME, DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD required) │ ├── wp-constants.php → Custom core, theme and plugin constants │ ├── wp-env-config.php → Primary WordPress config file (wp-config.php equivalent) │ └── wp-salts.php → Authentication unique keys and salts (auto generated) ├── vendor → Composer packages (never edit) └── web → Web root (vhost document root) ├── app → wp-content equivalent │ ├── mu-plugins ↔ Must-use plugins symlinked to /var/opt/wp/wp-content/mu-plugins │ ├── plugins ↔ Plugins symlinked to /var/opt/wp/wp-content/plugins │ ├── themes ↔ Themes symlinked to /var/opt/wp/wp-content/themes │ └── uploads → Uploads ├── index.php → Loads the WordPress environment and template (never edit) └── wp ↔ WordPress core symlinked to /var/opt/wp (never edit) └── wp-config.php → Required by WordPress - loads conf/wp-env-config.php (never edit) ``` `↔` denotes a symlink.
