Manage your WordPress site dependencies using the power of Composer, WP CLI, and wpackagist.org
WP Composer
WP Composer is a WP-CLI package for managing your WordPress theme and plugin dependencies. By using the power of WP-CLI and composer, you can declare the themes and plugins your WordPress site depends on.
Install
Installing as a WP-CLI package (preferred installation method)
wp package install rxnlabs/wp-composer-dependencies
Installing as a plugin
Clone this repo into plugins/ folder of your WordPress site, run:
composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist
This installs the plugin dependencies. Then, activate the plugin.
Requirements
- PHP 5.4 and up
- Requires WP-CLI version 0.24.0 and up.
Optional Requirements
Note: Only needed if you're using as a plugin and not as a WP-CLI package. Composer is useful in a lot of other scenarios. Learn more about Composer.
After installing as a WP-CLI package or as a plugin, run wp composer --help
to see the list of commands and subcommands available.

Note This plugin currently does not support premium plugins and themes, as well as plugins and themes not hosted on WordPress.org. This is a limitation I would like to fix at some point. In the meantime, you can manage your premium plugins in other ways such as submodules, subtrees, and plenty of other ways.
