+Integrating Wordpress with Composer
+===================================
+
+Setup the project directory:
+
+```sh
+mkdir wordpress-composer
+cd wordpress-composer
+```
+
+You need a `composer.json` that looks like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "wordpress-composer",
+  "repositories": [
+    {
+      "type": "composer",
+      "url": "https://wpackagist.org"
+    }
+  ],
+  "require": {
+    "johnpbloch/wordpress": "^4.8.0",
+    "wpackagist-plugin/w3-total-cache" : "^0.9.5.4"
+  },
+  "extra": {
+    "wordpress-install-dir": "wp"
+  },
+  "autoload": {
+    "files": []
+  },
+  "minimum-stability": "dev",
+  "prefer-stable": true
+}
+```
+
+Run `composer install`.
+
+Then create a `wp-config.php` at root that looks like:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+define('ABSPATH', __DIR__ . '/wp/');
+define('WP_ENV', 'development');
+define('WP_HOME', 'localhost');
+define('WP_SITEURL', 'localhost');

+define('LOGGED_IN_SALT',   '');
+define('NONCE_SALT',       '');
+
+require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
+```
+
+Remember that Wordpress is not arranged in a front-controller pattern.
+This means anything constants and configuration that needs to exist at 
+all places (like at wp-admin), must be placed in the `wp-config.php`.
+
+Create an `index.php` like:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
+require(__DIR__ . '/wp/wp-blog-header.php');
+```
+
+Run `cp -r wp/wp-content/themes wp-content/themes'`.
+
+Setup the database and configure your `wp-config.php` to connect to it.
+
+Now run `php -S "127.0.0.1:1337" -t .`.
+
+Remember that by using the site url and home constants in `wp-config.php`, 
+the site url and home options in the administration backend become useless 
+and can be left as just `localhost`. The constants are better as you can specialise 
+it to your environment.
