WordPress Composer Installation
===============================

[](#wordpress-composer-installation)

Base configuration for install and deploy WordPress sites using composer

The structure for your WordPress instalation will be:

```
/.env              -> edit in this file the most common config constants
/vendor            -> You shouldn't touch anything here, 3rd party libraries
/public
/public/cms        -> the WordPress installation dir (managed by composer)
/public/index.php  -> custom WordPress bootstrap file
/public/media      -> the WordPress directory to store uploads
/public/extensions -> WordPress plugins, managed by composer
/public/must       -> WordPress must-use plugins
/public/themes     -> themes directory
/app/config/environments/{development,production,...}.php extra configuration

```

It uses [WordPress Packagist](https://wpackagist.org/) in order to manage your plugins, themes and other php dependencies

How to start
------------

[](#how-to-start)

### Step1: Instalation

[](#step1-instalation)

**Requirements:**

- PHP7.1 or greater

**Create your project:**

```
composer create-project jefrancomix/composer-wordpress your_directory_name "dev-master"
```

**Set the WordPress permissions:**

```
# Configure the wp-content/uploads permissions
# https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
chmod -R 775 public/media
```

### Step2: Configuration

[](#step2-configuration)

Copy .env.example to .env and customize your parameters

#### Configure the rest of conventional wp-config parameters

[](#configure-the-rest-of-conventional-wp-config-parameters)

By default a file in `app/config/environments/development.php` is customizable, if you need to customize extra vars, you can create other files in that dir, and load its settings by changing the WP\_ENV var in your custom `.env` file.

#### Using Apache and permalinks are not working?

[](#using-apache-and-permalinks-are-not-working)

If the rewrite rules does not seem to work, maybe Rewrite module is not enabled, you could debug this adding this line to Apache configuration:

```
# /etc/apache/apache2.conf in debian/ubuntu systems
LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6

```

Then restart Apache service, if the log file shows:

```
Cannot find module rewrite

```

You must enable it in order to get permalinks working:

```
# a2enmod rewrite
# service apache2 restart

```

This is not specific to this structure, is valid for any WordPress installation running on Apache2.

### Credits

[](#credits)

Inspired by [simmetric/wordpress-composer-installation](https://github.com/simettric/wordpress-composer-installation)and [bedrock/roots](https://github.com/roots/bedrock) with some magic of composer installer script (mostly rewrite and copy files)
