Install WordPress must-use plugins with Composer

WordPress must-use plugin installer

, _(*1)

composer require lplabs/wordpress-muplugin-installer

The Multi-Framework Composer Library Installer does not completely install WordPress must-use plugins. It does put the plugin in the mu-plugins folder, but that isn't enough to be recognized as a must-use plugin by WordPress., _(*2)

This plugin addresses that by copying the plugin entry point file into the mu-plugins folder. Your plugin can indicate which file is the main entry point by specifying it in the extra section of your composer.json file., _(*3)

{
  "name": "vendorname/muplugin",
  "description": "Just another must-use plugin",
  "type": "wordpress-muplugin",
  "extra": {
    "wordpress-muplugin-entry": "your-plugin-entry-point-file.php"
  },
  "require": {
    "lplabs/wordpress-muplugin-installer": "^2.0"
  }
}

If you do not specify wordpress-muplugin-entry, this plugin will figure out which PHP files are WordPress plugins by looking for Plugin Name: in the first 8 kilobytes of each PHP file in the root of your plugin folder., _(*4)

Git hooks

Run this to install a git hook that will run PHPCS, PHPMD, and PHPUnit before you commit., _(*5)
