Configure Environment and Composer

🎯 Goal: Make Bedrock ready to run by configuring .env and installing plugins.

1. Configure .env

   • Copy .env.example to .env.

   • Use CI/CD environment values and update for local:

     WP_HOME=https://example.local
     WP_SITEURL=${WP_HOME}/wp
     DB_NAME=bedrock_db
     DB_USER=bedrock_user
     DB_PASSWORD=secret
     DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

   • Generate salts at roots.io/salts .

2. Install Plugins via Composer

   • Replace manual plugins with Composer equivalents via WPackagist:

     terminal

     composer require wpackagist-plugin/contact-form-7

   • Add premium plugin repos (if needed) to composer.json.

   • Run:

     terminal

     composer update
