Topic : Custom WordPress Package

Posted By: plose2009bx on February 17, 2015, 6:02 pm
Hello,
I would like to create a custom WordPress package with custom themes and plugins.
I read your guide http://softaculous.com/docs/Making_Custom_Package , but I'm having some difficulties.
Can someone maybe provide me with a custom WordPress package, that I can modify accordingly to my needs?


Alternative: Is there a way to modify the original WordPress script and add some custom themes and plugins?

This is the package that I was able to create. I just downloaded the sample and replaced the script with WordPress. I would really appreciate if you could modify my package and reupload it.

I would need it to activate all WordPress plugins and themes in the custom_wordpress.zip file.

I also need it to work with the following custom fields: Admin Name, Admin Pass, site_name, site_desc

Thank you very very much,
Luca

Thank you very much Brijesh.
I followed this guide. The only problem is, that I can not find this folder/path
/path/to/scripts/SOFTNAME/
If I sftp with root access I can find /var/softaculous/, but not the other one.

Thanks,
Luca

Is there maybe a guide on how to edit the  mywp.sql file in order to activate my themes and plugins?

Luca

Hi Luca,

/path/to/scripts/SOFTNAME
refers to
/var/softaculous/mywp

>> Is there maybe a guide on how to edit the  mywp.sql file in order to activate my themes and plugins?

It differs from plugin to plugin, hence we recommend to make a test installation and activate your theme/plugin and then check the difference between the SQL files and make the changes in mywp.sql accordingly.

Thank you Brijesh.

1)What should I do, when a new WordPress update is available.
Should I simply replace the mywp.zip in the custom package with the new .zip and edit the version in the info.xml file?
Softaculous is set to autoupgrade. Will it automatically upgrade all installations of this script?

2) I have some WordPress installations. How can change their script to the custom WordPress?

Regards,
Luca

3) I installed the custom script and activated the plugins. Then I downloaded the .sql with phpmyadmin. Can I replace this .sql with the one in the custom script?
What will happen if a user deactivated one of this plugins and softaculous makes an update of the script? Will it reactivate the plugin?

Thank you

You need to update the ZIP as well as SQL file along with the info.xml

At the moment auto upgrade is not supported for custom scripts.

You can import the installations to your custom script :
http://www.softaculous.com/docs/How_to_Import_an_Installation

You will need to incorporate the changes in the mywp.sql file to your SQL file. Note the [[ ]] tags which will replace the dynamic values like database prefix, admin username, password, etc

No.

Hi Brijesh,
I uploaded the new WordPress 4.1.1 files and updates the info.xml file and the version.php file. The I logged in in WHM and changed the version of the custom script. How can I update all installations of this custom script now?

Luca

Hi Luca,

The upgrade icon should be available for your installation and then you can upgrade your installation how you would do for a normal WordPress installation :
http://www.softaculous.com/docs/How_to_upgrade_installations

Let us know if you do not see the upgrade icon for your installation.

Hi Brijesh,

Is there maybe also a way to update all scripts at once from WHM, without having to login to every cpanel account.

Thanks,
Luca
