WordPress runs inside a Laravel application: Laravel routing, controllers, Blade and Eloquent on the front end,
the WordPress admin, database and plugins untouched. Hooks, post types, taxonomies and REST routes are PHP 8 attributes, found by auto-discovery.

composer global require pollora/cli pollora new example-app --ddev
#[PostType('book')] #[HasArchive] class Book {} class Seo { #[Action('wp_head', priority: 1)] public function metaDescription(): void { /* … */ } }
A new project needs PHP 8.4+ and WordPress 7.1+. The latest release follows the Laravel version it is built on. Everything is open source.
If Pollora is useful to you, star the skeleton: it helps other WordPress developers find it.
