Setup

To setup a new project running Scotch Box and WordPress, simply follow these steps:

1. Run the following command inside your project root to clone both Scotch Box and WPDistillery and move them to the right place:

git clone https://github.com/flickerleap/wpscotch.git && mv wpscotch/Vagrantfile Vagrantfile && mv wpscotch/wpdistillery wpdistillery2 && rm -rf wpscotch && mv wpdistillery2 wpdistillery

2. Run vagrant up inside your project root (if it fails, run vagrant provision)

Done! You can now access your project at https://localhost.dev/ or http://192.168.33.10/.

Additional Information

Auto Update WordPress and Plugins

If you want to automatically update WordPress and all Plugins on every vagrant up you can remove the comment character at line 26 inside the Vagrantfile.

Windows Support

Using Windows? No Problem! WPDistillery will detect if you're using Windows and if so, automatically convert all files using dos2unix.

Re-run WPDistillery setup

If the Scotch Box setup was successful, but WPDistillery failed somewhere: fix the error (probably in config.yml) and use vagrant reload --provision to reinitialize the WPDistillery setup process.

Vagrant commands

• vagrant up will start the machine. The first ever vagrant up in your project will also install Scotch Box and execute provisioning
• vagrant provision will execute provisioning. This is where WPDistillery runs its core function which is installing and configuring WordPress according to config.yml. Before that, it will also update WP-CLI and set the upload size to 64MB. Normally vagrant provision should not be executed manually but can be used to re-run the WPDistillery setup in case you want to re-install WordPress.
• vagrant reload will restart vagrant. This is required for changes made in the Vagrantfile to take effect.
• vagrant halt will shut down the running machine.
