[](#installation)

At [Mindsize](https://mindsize.me) we believe in composer driven projects, and most of our plugins require an autoloaded generated by [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). This means installation of our plugins may an extra step to generate this autoloader.

If your WordPress website is powered by composer and already is loading the vendor autoload file, just require the plugin by running the command below from your terminal.

`composer require mindsize/wp-plugin-base`
