Version 2.0 (15.01.2017)
With the 2.0 update, the setup process is now much easier. All you need to do after customizing your config file is vagrant up. That's it! With that single command, WPDistillery will now ssh to the VM, update WP-CLI, install and configure everything. It also comes with an optional auto-update function and integrated support for Windows. Check out the Changelog for a complete list of changes.
For additional information, visit the Official WPDistillery Website. The Documentation on wpdistillery.org is synced with the Github repository files.
WP Distillery does all the work for you when setting up a new WordPress project with Scotch Box. Simply add your preferred theme, plugins, options etc. into config.yml and you're good to go. With WPDistillery it won't take longer than 5 minutes until you can start working on your new WordPress project.
One simple command will
- install Scotch Box
- install/update requirements on the local webserver
- download/install/configure WordPress
- set WordPress options
- install/activate your favorite WordPress theme (default WPSeed).
- install/activate the plugins you defined in the config
- clean WordPress defaults (contents, plugins, themes, unused files)
You're able to adjust which of the above tasks will be executed. Simply set the desired tasks to true/false in the "Setup Options" section at the bottom of config.yml
Now you can use your config.yml as a template for every new project and save a lot of time clicking, dragging, editing and configuring.

To setup a new project running Scotch Box and WordPress, simply follow these steps:
- 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/flurinduerst/WPDistillery.git && mv WPDistillery/Vagrantfile Vagrantfile && mv WPDistillery/wpdistillery wpdistillery2 && rm -rf WPDistillery && mv wpdistillery2 wpdistillery
- customize
wpdistillery/config.yml(see configuration file documentation) - in
Vagrantfileadd your local domain atconfig.vm.hostname(This should be the same aswpsettings:url:inconfig.yml) - Run
vagrant upinside your project root
Done! You can now access your project at the domain defined in step 3. (or at http://192.168.33.10/)
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.
Using Windows? No Problem! WPDistillery will detect if you're using Windows and if so, automatically convert all files using dos2unix.
