WordBox—A truly modern development environment for WordPress and PHP

WordBox is a portmanteau of WordPress and Sandbox. Although the name implies WordPress, you can really put in any PHP script using WordBox just as easily.

WordBox is a truly modern WordPress site development (and deployment) environment.

Running the server

Steps 1-3 will have an automated option later.

  1. Download php zip from https://php.net and place the extracted files under /php.
  2. Download WordPress from https://wordpress.org and place the extracted files under /public.
  3. [Optional / Haven't tested] If you're on Linux, edit the config file to point to your php-cgi bin file.
  4. Run npm install to install dependencies (Express).
  5. Run node . to start the server.

Versioning

Thanks to @wbhob for donating the npm w package to me.

Because npm versions are immutable, our public version number starts directly to v.1.1.0. The project should be considered unstable until v.2.0.0 which will be WordBoxed's first stable release version.

Like many software, WordBox will have an internal version number and external version number. The current internal version is v.0.x.x and external version is v.1.x.x. As the internal version reaches public release, it will skip over from v.0.9.x to v.2.0.0 and catch up with its external version.
