Composer Autoload for WordPress
===============================

[](#composer-autoload-for-wordpress)

**Seamlessly integrate Composer into a standard WordPress installation.**

This plugin automatically loads Composer’s `vendor/autoload.php` (via an automatically generated **must-use (MU) plugin**), so any Composer-installed libraries are available without modifying WordPress core, themes, plugins or restructuring directories.

**Key features:**

- Drop-in solution for stock WordPress installs
- No changes to `wp-config.php` or core files
- Fully automatic Composer autoloader inclusion
- Works with themes, plugins, or custom PHP libraries managed via Composer

**Usage:**

1. **If Composer is not yet used in the project:**

    - Initialize Composer in your WordPress root: ```
        composer init
        ```
    - Install any libraries you need, e.g.: ```
        composer require monolog/monolog
        ```
    - Require this plugin: ```
        composer require wp-plus/composer-autoload
        ```
    - Done - all Composer dependencies, including the newly added ones, are automatically available in WordPress.
2. **If the project is already using Composer:**

    - Require this plugin via Composer: ```
        composer require wp-plus/composer-autoload
        ```
    - Done - your existing Composer dependencies are now autoloaded in WordPress.
    - **Optional cleanup:** remove any hardcoded `require 'vendor/autoload.php'` lines from your theme or plugin files, as this plugin handles it automatically.
