WordPress Project Skeleton
==========================

[](#wordpress-project-skeleton)

### Description

[](#description)

[SMFB Dinamo](https://www.smfb-dinamo.com/) starter code for a WordPress project.

### Install

[](#install)

There are few possible options to use this skeleton:

- Create new project with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

    ```
    composer create-project wp-digital/wp-project-skeleton

    ```
- Create new project on [GitHub](https://github.com/) from [this template](https://github.com/wp-digital/wp-project-skeleton).
- Alternative way is to clone this repo:

    ```
    git clone git@github.com:wp-digital/wp-project-skeleton.git

    ```

Find `@TODO: ...` in code and replace with needed settings.

### Documentation

[](#documentation)

#### Install plugins, mu-plugins, PHP packages

[](#install-plugins-mu-plugins-php-packages)

Manage dependencies with Composer. To install e.g. plugins use:

```
composer require innocode-digital/wp-hybrid-lazy-loading
composer require wpackagist-plugin/wp-crontrol

```

#### Update WordPress core, plugins, mu-plugins, PHP packages

[](#update-wordpress-core-plugins-mu-plugins-php-packages)

All updates should be done through Composer. To update e.g. WordPress core use:

```
composer update johnpbloch/wordpress

```

To update all dependencies (core, plugins, PHP packages):

```
composer update

```

Normally project should be initialized with new `.env` file after `create-project` command but if it was not created or other method was used to create project then it's possible to initialize `.env` with next command:

```
composer run-script wp-init

```

If you want to install some theme as dependency then remember to add it to `.gitignore`.

#### Cron

[](#cron)

By default, WordPress cron is disabled, but it's possible to enable it through environment variable:

```
USE_WP_CRON=true

```

There is a possibility to use server-side cron. It's needed to do next steps to make it run:

1. Make [script](./bin/run-wp-cron) executable: `chmod +x ./bin/run-wp-cron`
2. Test script: `./bin/run-wp-cron`
3. Set server-side cron e.g. with per each 5 minutes: `*/5 * * * * /path/to/bin/run-wp-cron`

### Caveats

[](#caveats)

**Install premium extensions from metabox.io**

See documentation [metabox.io](https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/composer/) on how to do it in general. Keep in mind that storing of the API Key in project `composer.json` is not a good idea, since it could be situation that project will be taken by someone else, so the API Key may be accidentally shared. To add private source to `repositories`, you can add it in global config with the following command `composer config repositories.metabox\.io composer https://packages.metabox.io/ --global` or edit `$HOME/.composer/config.json` manually:

```
{
    "config": {},
    "repositories": {
        "metabox.io": {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://packages.metabox.io/"
        }
    }
}

```

Then it should be possible to add extensions to project:

```
composer require meta-box/meta-box-group:dev-master

```
