Bedrock Multisite Skeleton

A WordPress Bedrock multisite skeleton. This project is trying to simplify the way we’re setting up a new WordPress project. Don’t repeat yourself.


Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the Twelve-Factor App methodology including the WordPress specific version.

Features

  • Dependency management with Composer
  • Better folder structure
  • Easy WordPress configuration with environment specific files
  • Environment variables with Dotenv
  • Whoops is a nice little library that helps you deal with errors and exceptions in a less painful way.
  • Autoloader for mu-plugins (use regular plugins as mu-plugins)
  • Debug Bar Adds a debug menu to the admin bar that shows query, cache, and other helpful debugging information.
  • Developer A plugin, which helps WordPress developers develop.
  • [Stage Switcher] Detects all the enviroments in WordPress.
  • MultisiteDirectoryResolver Adds filters that correct directory paths in a WordPress multisite install with the WordPress installation in a custom subfolder.
  • Koodimonni composer lang support

Plugins & Themes

We are using WordPress Packagist for plugins. To add a plugin from the WordPress Plugin Directory add the to the required array in the composer.json file. Specify them with wpackagist-plugin following by the plugin slug name. Example below.

"wpackagist-plugin/plugin-name": "~1.0.1"

Please note that this also works with themes and WordPress multi-site plugins.
