This is an experimental way of running WordPress using the PHP Process Manager. It will offer superior performance to the traditional PHP-FPM methods of running PHP code.

There are currently many issues and bugs and it's not possible to even login to wp-admin. The home page and individual posts should render which is enough to see the performance benefits.

This repo is based on Bedrock which 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.

• PHP >= 7.1
• Composer - Install

1. Clone Repo :

   $ composer install

2. Update environment variables in the .env file. Wrap values that may contain non-alphanumeric characters with quotes, or they may be incorrectly parsed.

• Database variables
  • DB_NAME - Database name
  • DB_USER - Database user
  • DB_PASSWORD - Database password
  • DB_HOST - Database host
  • Optionally, you can define DATABASE_URL for using a DSN instead of using the variables above (e.g. mysql://user:password@127.0.0.1:3306/db_name)
• WP_ENV - Set to environment (development, staging, production)
• WP_HOME - Full URL to WordPress home (https://example.com)
• WP_SITEURL - Full URL to WordPress including subdirectory (https://example.com/wp)
• AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY, AUTH_SALT, SECURE_AUTH_SALT, LOGGED_IN_SALT, NONCE_SALT
  • Generate with wp-cli-dotenv-command
  • Generate with our WordPress salts generator

3. Add theme(s) in web/app/themes/ as you would for a normal WordPress site
4. Set the document root on your webserver to Bedrock's web folder: /path/to/site/web/
5. Install with wp-cli wp core install
6. Run PHP-PM vendor/bin/ppm

See src/ for details on how it works Currently uses composer-patches to make a small tweak to wp-includes/template.php A mu-plugin is created to fix wp_die and wp_redirect so they do not terminate PHP.

wp-admin does not work. It should be possible to get it to work but because of the WP_ADMIN and other constants it will be necessary to setup separate PHP-PM master processes one for the frontend and one for the backend. This has not been done yet.

There are many more issues that only testing will discover.
