Bedrock is an open source project and completely free to use.
However, the amount of effort needed to maintain and develop new features and products within the Roots ecosystem is not sustainable without proper financial backing. If you have the capability, please consider donating using the links below:
Overview
Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure.
Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the Twelve-Factor App methodology including the WordPress specific version.
Features
- 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)
Requirements
- PHP >= 7.1
- Composer - Install
Installation
- Create a new project:
$ composer create-project roots/bedrock

file. Wrap values that may contain non-alphanumeric characters with quotes, or they may be incorrectly parsed.

)
