Bedrock (Roots.io)

Bedrock is a modern WordPress boilerplate created by Roots.io. It organizes a WordPress project with Composer dependency management, environment-based configuration, and a structured application layout.

Composer lets a project declare and manage PHP packages and WordPress dependencies in code. This makes versions more repeatable across local, staging, and production environments.

Bedrock changes the project structure and configuration approach rather than replacing WordPress itself. WordPress core, plugins, and themes are managed in a more code-oriented layout.

Bedrock is most useful for developers and teams who want reproducible deployments and dependency control. A simple site managed entirely through traditional hosting tools may not need its added structure.
