Pollora is the Laravel framework for WordPress. WordPress runs inside a Laravel application: the front end uses Laravel routing, controllers, Blade and Eloquent, while the WordPress admin, database, editors' workflow and plugins keep working as usual. Hooks, post types, taxonomies and REST routes are declared with PHP 8 attributes and registered by auto-discovery, so functions.php stops being the place where everything piles up.

Installation

Create a project with the Pollora CLI, or with Composer through the skeleton. See the installation guide:

composer global require pollora/cli
pollora new my-project --ddev

# or
composer create-project pollora/pollora my-project

Requirements:

• PHP 8.4+ for a new project (the skeleton's lock file ships Symfony 8; this package alone accepts PHP 8.3)
• Laravel 13.35 (Pollora's version numbers follow the Laravel release it is built on)
• WordPress 7.1+

Quick start

use Pollora\Attributes\Filter;
use Pollora\Attributes\PostType;
use Pollora\Attributes\PostType\HasArchive;
use Pollora\Attributes\PostType\Supports;

#[PostType]
#[HasArchive]
#[Supports(['title', 'editor', 'thumbnail'])]
class Book {}

class Seo
{
    #[Filter('document_title_parts')]
    public function title(array $parts): array { /* ... */ return $parts; }
}

composer test:unit           # Run Pest tests with 100% coverage requirement
composer test:types          # Run PHPStan static analysis
composer test:lint           # Check code style with Pint
composer test:refacto        # Check refactoring rules with Rector
composer test:type-coverage  # Check type coverage (98% minimum)

Changelog

Credits

Pollora builds on the work of Roots, a constant source of inspiration: themes, blocks and plugins are built with @roots/vite-plugin, the project follows the Bedrock layout with roots/bedrock-autoloader, and Blade ships Sage Directives. The WordPress models are built on Colt, a fork of Corcel.
