Bedrock is an open source project and completely free to use. If you've benefited from our projects and would like to support our future endeavors, please consider sponsoring Roots.

Overview

Bedrock is a WordPress boilerplate for developers that want to manage their projects with Git and Composer. Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the Twelve-Factor App methodology, including the WordPress specific version.

• 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)
