Example Usage

Default deployment (insecure; default passwords and installed as root):

wordpress { 'wordpress': }

Basic deployment (secure database password, installed as wordpress user/group):

wordpress { 'wordpress':
  wp_owner    => 'wordpress',
  wp_group    => 'wordpress',
  db_user     => 'wordpress',
  db_password => 'hvyH(S%t(\"0\"16',
}

Externally hosted MySQL DB:

wordpress { 'wordpress':
  db_user     => 'wordpress',
  db_password => 'hvyH(S%t(\"0\"16',
  db_host     => 'db.example.com',
}

Disable module's database/user creation (the database and db user must still exist with correct permissions):

wordpress { 'wordpress':
  db_user        => 'wordpress',
  db_password    => 'hvyH(S%t(\"0\"16',
  create_db      => false,
  create_db_user => false,
}

Install specific version of WordPress:

wordpress { 'wordpress':
  version => '3.4',
}

Install WordPress to a specific directory:

wordpress { 'wordpress':
  install_dir => '/var/www/wordpress',
}

Download wordpress-${version}.tar.gz from an internal server:

wordpress { 'wordpress':
  install_url => 'http://internal.example.com/software',
}

Configure wordpress to download updates and plugins through a proxy:

wordpress { 'wordpress':
  proxy_host => 'http://my.proxy.corp.com',
  proxy_port => '8080',
}

Enable the multisite wordpress feature:

wordpress { 'wordpress':
  wp_multisite   => true,
