About Pollora

Pollora is the Laravel framework for WordPress, and this repository is the skeleton composer create-project installs. WordPress runs inside a Laravel application: the front end uses Laravel routing, controllers, Blade and Eloquent, while the WordPress admin, database and plugins keep working as usual.

Documentation

Full documentation is available at pollora.dev, starting with the installation guide.

Quick Start

With the Pollora CLI, which can also set up a DDEV environment:

composer global require pollora/cli
pollora new my-project --ddev

Or with Composer:

composer create-project pollora/pollora my-project
cd my-project
# Configure your .env with database credentials, then:
php artisan pollora:install

The installation guide covers both paths, the interactive setup and DDEV.

Requirements

• PHP 8.4+ (this skeleton's composer.lock ships Symfony 8, which requires it)
• Composer 2.x
• Node.js 20.19+ or 22.12+ & npm (the floor Vite 7 requires)
• A database (MySQL, MariaDB, or SQLite)
• WordPress 7.1+ is installed for you through Composer
