Installation

At Mindsize we believe in composer driven projects, and most of our plugins require an autoloaded generated by Composer. This means installation of our plugins may an extra step to generate this autoloader.

Composer Powered WordPress

If your WordPress website is powered by composer and already is loading the vendor autoload file, just require the plugin by running the command below from your terminal.

composer require mindsize/wp-plugin-base

From GitHub

After cloning this repository, run composer install in the root directory of the plugin. If you are using git based deployments, make sure the vendor directory is no longer ignored.

From Packaged Releases on WordPress.org

Packaged releases on WordPress.org will automatically include the required autoloaders.
