🪨 Lithify for WordPress and Bedrock

Lithify is a WordPress plugin that adds a WP-CLI command to convert a traditional WordPress site into a Bedrock-style WordPress installation.

Installation and Usage

1. Create a new Trellis site and initialize a new Git repository:

   $ mkdir example.com && cd example.com && trellis new . && git init

2. Update Trellis PHP version to match the version of PHP used by your WordPress site. For example, if your WordPress site is running PHP 7.4, update trellis/group_vars/all/main.yml:

   php_version: "7.4"

3. Update Bedrock WordPress version to match the version of WordPress used by your WordPress site. For example, if your WordPress site is running WordPress 5.2.2, update site/composer.json:

   "roots/wordpress": "5.2.2",

4. Update Bedrock PHP version to match the version from step 2:

   "php": ">=7.4",

5. Copy your WordPress plugins, themes, mu-plugin, and uploads directories into the Bedrock site/web/app directory.

6. Add Lithify as a dependency to Bedrock:

   $ composer require mwdelaney/lithify

7. SSH to your development server and navigate to the Bedrock directory:

   $ trellis ssh development
   $ cd /srv/www/example.com/current

8. Import your WordPress database:

   $ wp db import example.sql

9. Activate Lithify:

   $ wp plugin activate lithify

10. Run the lithify command and follow the prompts to lithify your site:

    $ wp lithify
