WordPress Project Template by JustCoded

    


WordPress Project Template is a skeleton [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/) site with modern 

development tools, easier configuration, improved folder structure and latest security best practices.

## Better project structure

The organization of skeleton is similar to putting WordPress core files in its own subdirectory, 

`wp-content` stays the same.

## Dependency management with Composer

Manage your WordPress install and plugins with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org), 

a PHP dependency manager. Composer will make development more reliable, help with team collaboration, 

and it helps maintain a better Git repository.

## Easy WordPress configuration

Environment specific configuration files and environment variables with Dotenv.

## Enhanced security

* Deny access to non-web files with server directives (with `.htaccess` files).

* Deny PHP scripts execution inside `wp-content/uploads` folder.

* Deny browsing the directory files list.

* Production & Staging environments have a restriction to update files from admin panel (only Media is allowed).

* Command-line scripts for generating wp-admin HTTP Authorization files.
