Create Local WordPress site with Valet+

I’ve written previously about developing on WordPress trunk using Valet+. Sometimes, I really just need to spin up a local site without the full trunk setup.

Steps

(Requires Valet+ and WP CLI, as well as an existing wp DB user with a password of wp)

  1. cd ~/Sites/
  2. mkdir wp
  3. cd wp
  4. wp core download
  5. valet db create
  6. wp core config --dbname=wp --dbuser=wp --dbpass=wp
  7. valet link --secure
  8. wp core install --url=wp.test --title='WP Site' --admin_user=admin --admin_email=<email> --admin_password=password (If you ever plan to share this using NGrok, set a more secure password)
