A wordpress site and theme built on Roots.io's Bedrock and Sage.

Requirements

Installation

(Most of the instructions below are left over from Bedrock's readme.)

1. Clone this repository
2. Run composer install
3. Copy .env.example to .env and update environment variables:

• Database variables
  • DB_NAME - Database name
  • DB_USER - Database user
  • DB_PASSWORD - Database password
  • DB_HOST - Database host
  • Optionally, you can define DATABASE_URL for using a DSN instead of using the variables above (e.g. mysql://user:[email protected]:3306/db_name)
• WP_ENV - Set to environment (development, staging, production)
• WP_HOME - Full URL to WordPress home (https://example.com)
• WP_SITEURL - Full URL to WordPress including subdirectory (https://example.com/wp)
• AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY, AUTH_SALT, SECURE_AUTH_SALT, LOGGED_IN_SALT, NONCE_SALT
  • Generate with wp-cli-dotenv-command
  • Generate with our WordPress salts generator

4. Add theme(s) in web/app/themes/ as you would for a normal WordPress site
5. Set the document root on your webserver to Bedrock's web folder: /path/to/site/web/

• For local development, you can cd into the web folder and use the built-in PHP development server: php -S localhost:8000
• And then if you're working on front-end things you may want to cd into the theme directory (app/themes/thebluedawn) and run the Yarn development server with yarn start

6. Access WordPress admin at https://example.com/wp/wp-admin/
