wp_cli.sh

#!/bin/bash -e
#
# Description:
# 	This will deploy WordPress in the current directory.
# 	Without modification it:
# 	- will configure basic security:
# 		- remove initial user created
# 		- deploy 6G firewall in .htaccess
# 		- attempt to prevent user enumeration in .htaccess
# 		- protect sensitive files and disallow executables in /wp-uploads
# 	- presumes a htpasswd file called wp-login is located in /etc/apache2/
# 	- disallows theme/plugin editor in wp-admin
# 	- only allows core/plugin/theme updates in wp-admin when using a cookie set using &key=xxx
# 	- presumes it is a staging environment so sets 'discourage search engines'
# 	- deletes akismet and hello_dolly plugins
# 	- deletes the default page and post
# 	- creates a blank page called Home and sets it as the frontpage
# 	- sets permalinks to /%postaname%/
# 	- optionally it:
# 		- bootstraps an _S theme
# 		- installs some plugins - advanced-custom-fields autoptimize better-wp-security breadcrumb-navxt broken-link-checker cms-tree-page-view custom-post-type-ui ewww-image-optimizer google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp google-captcha google-sitemap-generator gravity-forms-custom-post-types plugincheck query-monitor redirection re	generate-thumbnails simple-local-avatars theme-check wp-fail2ban wp-pagenavi wp-super-cache
