WP local site creation script. Made for use with https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/valet

wp-create

#!/bin/bash

# Usage: wp-create sitename

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Need to provide the directory name to be created."
    exit 1
fi

# set up new folder to house the WP install
cd ~/development/valet-sites
mkdir $1 && cd $1

# dowload wordpress and setup to use new database
wp core download
wp config create --dbname=$1 --dbuser=root --dbpass=''

wp config set WP_DEBUG true --raw --type=constant
wp config set WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY false --raw --type=constant
wp config set WP_DEBUG_LOG true --raw --type=constant
wp config set SCRIPT_DEBUG false --raw --type=constant
wp config set JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG true --raw --type=constant

wp db create
wp core install --url=$1.test --title=$1 --admin_user=a --admin_email=local@localhost.local --admin_password=p

echo -e "Success: $1.test created."

# make https, will ask for a pw and restart the server
echo -e "Note: Enter your password so we can secure the site with a local SSL cert:"
valet secure $1

# delete Hello Dolly & Akismet
wp plugin delete hello
wp plugin delete akismet

# install and activate Query Monitor
wp plugin install query-monitor && wp plugin activate query-monitor

# open the site in default browser
valet open $1

Requires a local development environment. I use https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/valet, and ~/development/valet-sites is where I've run valet park.

Usage:

1. Download script, and make it executable: chmod 755 /location/to/wp-create
2. Ensure script location is in your current PATH. Run echo $PATH to see where you could put it. /usr/local/bin is a good option, else you can put anywhere and add to your PATH's if you know how.
3. Change ~/development/valet-sites in the script to wherever you want sites to be added.
4. Run wp-create sitename to have sitename.test automatically created for you, opened in the browser, with the username a and password p.

Also pairs well with wp-remove script below for deleting the sites :)

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Need to provide the directory to be removed."
    exit 1
fi

# go to the valet sites folder
cd ~/development/valet-sites/$1

# remove the database
wp db drop --yes

# trash the folder
trash ~/development/valet-sites/$1

echo -e "Success: $1.test site removed."
