WordPress-Composer example configuration for Platform.sh.

WordPress template for Platform.sh

This project provides a starter kit for WordPress projects hosted on Platform.sh. It is primarily an example, although could be used as the starting point for a real project. It is built using Composer, via the popular johnpbloch/wordpress script.

Starting a new project

To start a new project based on this template, follow these 3 simple steps:

1. Clone this repository locally. You may optionally remove the origin remote or remove the .git directory and re-init the project if you want a clean history.

2. Create a new project through the Platform.sh user interface and select "Import an existing project" when prompted.

3. Run the provided Git commands to add a Platform.sh remote and push the code to the Platform.sh repository.

That's it! You now have a working "hello world" level project you can build on.

Using as a reference

You can also use this repository as a reference for your own projects, and borrow whatever code is needed. The most important parts are the .platform.app.yaml file and the .platform directory.

Local settings

This example looks for an optional wp-config-local.php alongside your wp-config.php file that you can use to develop locally. This file is ignored in git.

Example wp-config-local.php:

<?php

define('WP_HOME', "http://localhost");
define('WP_SITEURL',"http://localhost");
define('DB_NAME', "my_wordpress");
define('DB_USER', "user");
define('DB_PASSWORD', "a strong password");
define('DB_HOST', "127.0.0.1");
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

// These will be set automatically on Platform.sh to a different value, but that won't cause issues.
define('AUTH_KEY', 'SECURE_AUTH_KEY');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'LOGGED_IN_SALT');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'NONCE_SALT');
define('AUTH_SALT', 'SECURE_AUTH_SALT');
