wp-launchpad

A Wordpress development starter using composer, node and grunt

Getting started

The goal of WP Launchpad is to automate a modern development project structure for Wordpress site development. The setup is modeled from the guys at roots.io. WP Launchpad uses composer and grunt to create the project structure which places the entire wordpress project in a wp/ directory, copies over wp-content/, index.php and wp-confg-sample.php and makes some modifications to ensure wordpress is cool with everything.

Open up terminal and type:

composer install
npm install
grunt

After that do the following:

• add your database creds to wp-config-sample.php moving it to wp-config.php,
• visit the installed url i.e http://localhost/mywpsite, go through the installation setup as usual
• Finally from wp-admin go to settings->general settings and remove '/wp' from the end of site address (url) option

That's it! Enjoy :)
