SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Installing WordPress plugins in Bedrock projects often becomes error-prone when you mix theme vs project composer contexts, rely on ad-hoc CLI commands, or fail to register plugin packages correctly for Composer to fetch and WordPress to recognize.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Composer-only plugin installs in Bedrock: Uses lando composer require at the correct project-root composer.json to install plugins from WP Packagist sources.
  • Handles multiple input formats: Accepts a plugin slug, a composer package name, or a local ZIP file (including mu-plugins) and wires repository metadata when needed.
  • Optional activation verification: Can activate the plugin with lando wp plugin activate after installation, and always verifies via composer show and lando wp plugin list.
  • Use case: You have a Bedrock project and need to install a new plugin from wp-packages.org (or a local ZIP you received from a vendor) and ensure it’s discoverable by WordPress without using wp plugin install.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to install the plugin inside your Lando Bedrock project using Composer: “Install-plugin for my Bedrock project from a ZIP at /path/to/my-plugin.zip and activate it after install.”

Yes, the skill enforces running composer via lando to guarantee the correct project-root composer.json context and ensure WordPress can detect the installed plugins.

What is the best way to verify a Bedrock plugin installation after using Composer?▼

Verify plugin installation by running lando composer show to confirm the package exists and lando wp plugin list to ensure WordPress detects the newly installed plugin.

After installing via Composer, optionally activate the plugin by running lando wp plugin activate, ensuring it is operational within your WordPress site.
