Bedrock is an open source project and completely free to use.

However, the amount of effort needed to maintain and develop new features and products within the Roots ecosystem is not sustainable without proper financial backing. If you have the capability, please consider donating using the links below:

Overview

Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure.

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

Features

• Better folder structure
• Dependency management with Composer
• Easy WordPress configuration with environment specific files
• Environment variables with Dotenv
• Autoloader for mu-plugins (use regular plugins as mu-plugins)
• Enhanced security (separated web root and secure passwords with wp-password-bcrypt)

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.4
• Composer - Install

Installation

1. Create a new project:

   $ composer create-project roots/bedrock

2. Update environment variables in the .env file. Wrap values that may contain non-alphanumeric characters with quotes, or they may be incorrectly parsed.

• 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:password@127.0.0.1:3306/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

3. Add theme(s) in web/app/themes/ as you would for a normal WordPress site
4. Set the document root on your webserver to Bedrock's web folder: /path/to/site/web/
5. Access WordPress admin at https://example.com/wp/wp-admin/
