Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/devgeniem/better-wp-install-dropin/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Use empty blog description ( if someone forgots to change that )
Use /%category%/%postname%/ permalink

You can copy install.php to your wp-content folder. Just plug&play.

OR you can use composer so that you can automatically update it too. Put these in your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "devgeniem/better-wp-install-dropin": "^1.0"
    },
    "extra": {
        "dropin-paths": {
            "htdocs/wp-content/": ["type:wordpress-dropin"],
        }
    }
}
