Adds Sledgehammer goodies

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

[](#installation)

Install with composer, in the root of the wordpress project run:

```
composer require sledgehammer/wordpress

```

Edit `wp-config.php` and add at the **bottom** (after the require `wp-settings.php`):

```
require_once(ABSPATH.'vendor/autoload.php');
Sledgehammer\Wordpress\Bridge::initialize();
require_once(ABSPATH.'vendor/sledgehammer/core/src/render_public_folders.php');
```

Disable web access to the vendor folder.
(For Apache httpd: Add a `.httaccess` file into the vendor folder with `Deny from all`)

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The bridge looks at constants defined in the wp-config to auto-configure sledgehammer.

```
WP_DEBUG: Enable the errorhandler & statusbar
SAVEQUERIES: Enables the sql query log
DB_*: Connect to the database, if needed
WP_HOME: Detect public folder

```

To measure initialization add the following line line at the **beginning** of the `wp-config.php`:

```
define('Sledgehammer\STARTED', microtime(true));
```
