Getting Started

The Getting Started section guides you through the initial setup and first steps with WordPress MVC (WPMVC). It covers installing the framework via Composer, running the Ayuco setup wizard to scaffold your plugin or theme, configuring basic settings (namespace, text domain, version, assets), understanding the project structure, and compiling your first assets with Gulp/npm. Designed for developers who want to quickly move from a blank slate to a structured, maintainable codebase, this category provides clear, step-by-step instructions so you can start building elegant custom plugins and themes in minutes — without fighting WordPress boilerplate or reinventing common patterns.

📄️ Installation

WordPress MVC (WPMVC) is installed via Composer (for PHP dependencies) and npm (for frontend assets/build tools). The framework includes Ayuco, a powerful CLI for setup, scaffolding, and commands.

📄️ File Structure

WordPress MVC (WPMVC) follows a clean, convention-based directory layout designed for maintainability, scalability, and separation of concerns. After installing via Composer and running the Ayuco setup wizard (php ayuco setup), your project (plugin or theme) will have the following typical structure.

📄️ Configuration

After running the Ayuco setup wizard (php ayuco setup), WordPress MVC (WPMVC) generates a clean, extensible configuration system in the app/Config/ folder. This lets you control core behavior, add custom settings, override for environments, and integrate add-ons — all without touching WordPress core files.
