By default, wordpress core will be installed in ./web directory. Plugins and themes will be installed in ./web/wp-content/plugins and ./web/wp-content/themes. Point your Apache vhost or similar to this project's ./web directory.

How to install WordPress third party plugins and themes?

With composer require ... you can download new dependencies to your installation.

cd some-dir
composer require wpackagist-plugin/wp-cfm

How to manage my custom themes and plugins under version control?

1. Init a composer project in packages directory (set type to wordpress-plugin or wordpress-theme)
2. Add a local (type path) repository in repositories option of the root composer.json.
3. Run composer require vendor/your-package.
