Installation

WP Wireframe is a library, not a standalone plugin. Bundle a copy inside your own plugin’s vendor/ folder.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• WordPress 6.5+

Install

Composer (recommended)

Add the GitHub repo to your plugin’s Composer repositories — no Packagist needed:

composer config repositories.tdrayson/wp-wireframe git https://github.com/tdrayson/wp-wireframe

Or add it to composer.json by hand:

{
    "repositories": [
        { "type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/tdrayson/wp-wireframe" }
    ]
}

Then install:

composer require tdrayson/wp-wireframe

And require the Composer autoloader from your plugin’s main file:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Composer resolves the latest tagged release. The compiled JS/CSS bundle ships with the package, so there’s no build step on your side.

Manual download

1. Download the latest release zip and extract it so the folder sits at your-plugin/vendor/wp-wireframe/.
2. Require the autoloader from your plugin’s main file:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/wp-wireframe/vendor/autoload.php';

No separate plugin to install or activate. Any number of plugins can bundle their own copy; every plugin runs on the newest one — see Multi-plugin setup.

Caution

Require the autoloader when your plugin file loads, but don’t use Wireframe\ classes before plugins_loaded — a newer bundled copy may not have registered yet. Booting on init, as in the Quick Start, is fine.
