What if I wanted to use wordpress 4.9.x ?
laymonk opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I am quite impressed at how quickly Docksal bootsrapped a WordPress env for me, and I can login to wp-admin. Well done for this awesome tool.
In the absence of any clear documentation, I am forced to ask what may be trivial questions:
- What if I wanted to use wordpress 4.9.x ?
- What is the recommended way to use wp-cli ?
- How would I access the DB (if, not via wp-cli)? ... eg: phpmyadmin, straigh mysqlclient login ?
Just trying to save time by understanding the general intention of how Docksal should be used for WordPress.
The better I understand it, the quicker I can contribute to docs, configs, boiler plates ...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, pointers ...
OK ... I think I get it now.
- The wordpress (docroot) folder can be swapped out as required, for the preferred version, subject to a wp-config.php (and possible .htaccess) adaptation ...
- wpcli is available as
fin wp <blah> - Composer is available as
fin composer <blah>
Not clear to me (yet) how to manage staging/production work flows, and the resultant change in config files between environments ... ie, using fin ... but I am working on it.
Will close this ticket now. Thank you.

There is no boilerplate repo with Wordpress 4 and also no docs for configuring an existing Wordpress project to use with Docksal, like there are for Drupal. I created an issue for that.

See fin db commands

Docksal does not have an opinion about your dev workflow. It's entirely up to you how you'd want to manage it.
