Yes, you can preload plugins when provisioning a new WordPress site. The setup process supports optional base plugin preloads to accelerate first-run setup alongside directory creation, wp-config patching, and MySQL database creation inside the container.

The best way to add a new site to a shared webserver environment is using an automated provisioning script. This Skill creates the site under a shared webserver directory, extracts WordPress core, and applies idempotent safeguards to prevent configuration drift.

WordPress site setup can fail if dependencies like Docker, unzip, python3, awk, grep, or bash are missing. The Skill provides clear next steps and idempotent checks to ensure directory creation, docker-compose generation, and wp-config patching complete successfully before bringing the site online.
