What it is

AUM WP Studio creates and manages local WordPress sites on .test domains. Its defining feature is a Shared Theme Pool: a theme is stored once in a central directory and linked into every site via symlinks — edit the theme once, and all sites using it update instantly.

Everything is bundled — no external dependencies to install. MariaDB, PHP, Caddy, and WP-CLI are downloaded and managed by the app on first launch.

Features

• 🎨 Shared Theme Pool — one theme, symlinked across all sites
• 🚀 One-click WordPress sites — no browser setup wizard (WP-CLI does it)
• 🧩 Bundled services — MariaDB 10.11, PHP (7.4–8.5), Caddy, WP-CLI
• 🌐 .test domains — managed automatically via the system hosts file
• 🗄️ Built-in database UI — phpMyAdmin per site
• 🌍 Export POT — generate translation templates for any theme or plugin
• 💻 Open in VS Code / terminal — wp CLI ready in the site shell
• 🔄 Auto-updates — new versions delivered via GitHub Releases

System requirements

• Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit
• Administrator rights — required to edit the hosts file and bind port 80
• ~500 MB free space for bundled services (downloaded on first launch)

Installation & the SmartScreen warning ⚠️

This app is not code-signed (code-signing certificates cost money; this is a free project). Windows will therefore show a "Windows protected your PC" warning the first time you run the installer. This is expected and the app is safe — you can verify the download with the checksum below.

To proceed:

1. Run the downloaded AUM WP Studio Setup x.y.z.exe.
2. On the blue "Windows protected your PC" screen, click More info.
3. Click Run anyway.

Auto-updates after the first install happen inside the running app and do not trigger this warning again.

Verify your download (optional but recommended)

Each release lists a SHA-256 checksum. To verify in PowerShell:

Get-FileHash ".\AUM WP Studio Setup x.y.z.exe" -Algorithm SHA256

Compare the result to the value in the release notes. If they don't match, do not run it — re-download from the official releases page.

这是什么

AUM WP Studio 在本地 .test 域名下创建和管理 WordPress 站点。核心特色是 共享主题池:主题只存一份在中央目录,通过符号链接接入每个站点 —— 改一次主题,所有使用它的站点立即同步更新。

所有服务全部内置,无需额外安装任何环境。MariaDB、PHP、Caddy、WP-CLI 都由软件在首次启动时自动下载并管理。

功能

• 🎨 共享主题池 —— 一份主题,符号链接到所有站点
• 🚀 一键创建 WordPress 站点 —— 无需浏览器安装向导(由 WP-CLI 完成)
• 🧩 内置服务 —— MariaDB 10.11、PHP(7.4–8.5)、Caddy、WP-CLI
• 🌐 .test 域名 —— 自动写入系统 hosts 文件
• 🗄️ 内置数据库管理 —— 每个站点独立 phpMyAdmin
• 🌍 导出 POT —— 为任意主题或插件生成翻译模板
• 💻 VS Code / 终端打开 —— 站点终端内可直接用 wp 命令
• 🔄 自动更新 —— 通过 GitHub Releases 推送新版本

系统要求

• Windows 10 / 11,64 位
• 管理员权限 —— 用于写入 hosts 文件和占用 80 端口
• 约 500 MB 可用空间(内置服务首次启动时下载)

安装 与 SmartScreen 警告 ⚠️

本软件未做代码签名(签名证书要花钱,本项目免费)。因此首次运行安装包时,Windows 会弹出 「Windows 已保护你的电脑」 警告。这是正常现象,软件是安全的 —— 你可以用下方的校验和验证安装包未被篡改。

继续安装:

1. 运行下载好的 AUM WP Studio Setup x.y.z.exe。
2. 在蓝色的 「Windows 已保护你的电脑」 界面,点击 更多信息。
3. 点击 仍要运行。

首次安装后的自动更新在软件内部完成,不会再次触发该警告。

验证下载(可选,推荐)

每个版本都会附带 SHA-256 校验和。在 PowerShell 中验证:

Get-FileHash ".\AUM WP Studio Setup x.y.z.exe" -Algorithm SHA256

将结果与发布说明中的值比对。若不一致,请勿运行,并从官方发布页重新下载。
