This is possible by updating the public/wp-config.php file after the WordPlate application have been created.

define('WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER', env('WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER', false));

+define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', env('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true));

Then you may add the constant to the .env file.

WP_DEFAULT_THEME=wordplate
+WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE=true

WordPlate allows you to disable the internal WordPress cron system via the DISABLE_WP_CRON environment variable:

DISABLE_WP_CRON=true

It is recommended to manually set a cron job if you enable this setting and disable the WordPress cron. You'll need to add the following in your crontab file:

*/5 * * * * curl https://example.com/wp/wp-cron.php

If you want to install language packs using Composer, we recommend looking at the WP Languages project. Below is an example of a composer.json file that installs the Swedish language pack for WordPress.

{
    "require": {
        "koodimonni-language/core-sv_se": "*",
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://wp-languages.github.io",
            "only": [
                "koodimonni-language/*"
            ]
        }
    ],
    "config": {
        "allow-plugins": {
            "koodimonni/composer-dropin-installer": true
        },
    },
    "extra": {
        "dropin-paths": {
            "public/languages/": [
                "vendor:koodimonni-language"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Update your .gitignore, composer.json, .vite.config.js, and wp-cli.yml files with the new path to the public directory. Then, run composer update in the root of your project.

By default WordPlate will put the WordPress in public/wordpress. If you want to change this there are a couple of steps you need to go through. Let's say you want to change the default WordPress location to public/wp:

1. Update the wordpress-install-dir path in your composer.json file.

2. Update wordpress to wp in wordplate/public/.gitignore.

3. Update the last line in the public/index.php file to:

   require __DIR__.'/wp/wp-blog-header.php';

4. Update the WP_DIR environment variable in the .env file to wp.

5. If you're using WP-CLI, update the path in the wp-cli.yml file to public/wp.

6. Remove the public/wordpress directory if it exist and then run composer update.

For most applications you may leave the theme directory as it is. If you want to rename the wordplate theme to something else you'll also need to update the WP_DEFAULT_THEME environment variable in the .env file.

If you're using Laravel Herd or Valet together with WordPlate, you may use our custom driver:

<?php

namespace Valet\Drivers\Custom;

use Valet\Drivers\BasicValetDriver;

class WordPlateValetDriver extends BasicValetDriver
{
    public function serves(string $sitePath, string $siteName, string $uri): bool
    {
        return is_dir($sitePath . '/public/wordpress');
    }

    public function isStaticFile(string $sitePath, string $siteName, string $url)
    {
        $staticFilePath = $sitePath . '/public' . $url;

        if ($this->isActualFile($staticFilePath)) {
            return $staticFilePath;
        }

        return false;
    }

    public function frontControllerPath(string $sitePath, string $siteName, string $uri): ?string
    {
        return parent::frontControllerPath(
            $sitePath . '/public',
            $siteName,
            $this->forceTrailingSlash($uri)
        );
    }

    private function forceTrailingSlash(string $uri)
    {
        if (substr($uri, -1 * strlen('/wordpress/wp-admin')) === '/wordpress/wp-admin') {
            header('Location: ' . $uri . '/');
            exit;
        }

        return $uri;
    }
}

If you're using Tinkerwell together with WordPlate, you may use our custom driver:

<?php

final class WordPlateTinkerwellDriver extends WordpressTinkerwellDriver
{
    public function canBootstrap($projectPath)
    {
        return file_exists($projectPath . '/public/wordpress/wp-load.php');
    }

    public function bootstrap($projectPath)
    {
        require $projectPath . '/public/wordpress/wp-load.php';
    }

    public function appVersion()
    {
        return 'WordPlate ' . get_bloginfo('version');
    }
}
