A boilerplate to start a fast WordPress website without unconditional class loading using Composer autoloader.

Core is downloaded from the official ZIP and unconditional class loading is commented out.

• Clone this repository
• Optionally use johnpbloch/wordpress package instead of the included official ZIP, see composer.json in examples/johnpbloch-wordpress/ directory
• Add plugins e.g. composer require wpackagist-plugin/wordpress-seo
• Add your theme
• Prefer class autoloading in theme and plugins, simply add the following to composer.json

    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "MyNamespace\\": "inc/"
        }
    },
    "config": {
        "classmap-authoritative": true
    }

Add Composer autoloader to app/wp-config.php

require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';
