WordPress Skeleton

For your own wp-skeleton please head over to markjaquith's great WordPress-Skeleton. This is just a forkless Customization.

Plugins

• Root Relative Urls
• FirePHP
• Roots

Assumptions

• WordPress as a Git submodule in /wp/
• Roots as Git submodule in /content/roots
• Custom content directory in /content/ (cleaner, and also because it can't be in /wp/)
• wp-config.php in the root (because it can't be in /wp/)
• media folder lives in /content/media

Additions

• working redirection via htaccess for
  • theme assets
  • wp-admin assets
• local/staging/production environments

TBD

• Test Support for wp-stack
