If this project has been a help to you, feel free to give this grateful developer a coffee ☕️
I was looking around for a useful script to speed up the setting-up process for a WordPress site.
After looking around, I found a couple of great scripts by @snaptortoise and @darlanrod. However, I needed more features to speed up my day-to-day WordPress work, so I built on top of the fantastic work these guys did to get it to where I needed it to be.
In order to use this script, you will need to have wget installed. See instructions for Brew here: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/wget
cd into the project root and run the following in command-line:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jasewarner/wordpress-installer/master/wordpress.sh
Then run the script: sh ./wordpress.sh
It will download the latest version of WordPress, along with the latest version of all the plugins listed in the shell script and install them to the current directory, as well as the boilerplate theme.
Quick tip: if
wgetthrows an error when attempting to retrieve the plugins, you will most likely need to install it! To do so, in the command-line, runbrew install wget.
The script installs the following WordPress plugins:
† I highly recommend purchasing the Pro version!
The script also installs my blank slate WordPress theme for Developers, packaged with Gulp.js for processing SCSS and JavaScript (ES6).
It also comes with some helpful SCSS mixins and was developed in accordance to the WordPress Coding Standards.
