Bedrock Livewire

This repository is a WordPress sandbox built on Roots Bedrock to test and develop a Livewire-powered theme inside WordPress.

The project combines: Ryan Apanowicz ryan.apanowicz@cgphoenix.com

• Bedrock for WordPress dependency and environment management
• Acorn for Laravel-style bootstrapping inside the theme
• Livewire v4 for reactive UI in WordPress
• A custom child theme, lativ-child, for block and component development
• ACF Pro for custom block registration and editor configuration

Repository Focus

This is not a generic Bedrock starter. The point of the repo is to explore how modern Laravel-style tooling can work inside WordPress, specifically:

• Booting Acorn from a WordPress FSE theme
• Using Livewire components in a WordPress frontend
• Registering custom Gutenberg blocks from the theme using blade views
• Pairing ACF block metadata with Blade-rendered block templates
