**Mr. Press** is a [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/) development stack similar to [Bedrock](https://github.com/roots/bedrock). Project's main goal is to improve the overall security, portability and deployment process of WordPress, while trying to use the best web development practices.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- WordPress, its themes and plugins are installed and updated via Composer!
- `wp-content` folder has been relocated, so it won't mess up with WordPress core
- Critical WordPress settings (such as site URL, database credentials etc) are [loaded from the environment variables](http://12factor.net/config)
- [WP Cron is disabled](https://www.lucasrolff.com/wordpress/why-wp-cron-sucks/) by default and there is a ready-to-use cron job to run

### Mr. Press default theme's features

[](#mr-press-default-themes-features)

- [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/) responsive layout
- Clean templates using [Twig](http://getbootstrap.com/) templates via [Timber](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) plugin
- A lot of customizations can be done directly from code:
    - define menus (links to page, custom links, nested items etc)
    - add / remove custom post types and taxonomies
    - handy access to [Bower](http://bower.io/) and [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-assets) assets
- Integration with [Advanced Custom Fields](http://www.advancedcustomfields.com) plugin (group fields can be registered from theme code) and used via Timber

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [PHP](http://php.net/) >= 5.5 or 7.0
- [Apache](https://httpd.apache.org/) or [NGINX](http://nginx.org/en/) web server
- [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/) or [MariaDB](https://mariadb.org/) DB server
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) >= 1.0

Make sure that Composer and the rest of the requirements are installed.

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

[](#installation)

Just go the web root folder (usually it's `/var/www`) and create your copy of the project:

```
$ cd /var/wwww
$ composer create-project salaros/mr-press my-new-website
```

### Create WordPress tables

[](#create-wordpress-tables)

Now change to `/var/www/my-new-website` directory and edit the `.env` file and chnage DB connection settings and site URL:

```
$ cd /var/www/my-new-website
$ editor .env
$ composer run-script initialize
```

### Create cron job

[](#create-cron-job)

Since [WP Cron is disabled](https://www.lucasrolff.com/wordpress/why-wp-cron-sucks/) by default you'd better run the commands below in order to enable a system [cron job](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron) which triggers WP Cron every 5 min:

*PLEASE NOTE: `create-cron-job` requires administrator privileges, so you should run it as root ([super user](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser)) or [sudoer user](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers).*

```
$ cd /var/www/my-new-website
$ composer run-script create-cron-job
```

Known bugs
----------

[](#known-bugs)

- **Mr. Press** has been tested on Linux and might also work correctly on Mac OS X. Windows compatibility will be implemented later
