Overview

WordPress is a publishing platform for websites and blogs. This GitHub repository is a Git mirror of the WordPress Subversion distribution, containing the packaged readme.html, installer, and core code rather than the project's primary contribution workflow.

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Start a publishing environment through the installer and plugin API

The packaged readme.html covers the five-minute database installer, automatic and manual updates, imports from other systems, and support resources. The intended extension model uses plugins and themes instead of modifying core files directly.

For self-hosting content management and publishing

It fits blogs, media properties, and organization sites that need a self-hosted administration interface and a large theme and plugin ecosystem. Official documentation, support forums, and developer handbooks separate guidance by task.

Do not confuse this mirror, contribution channels, and runtime requirements

Pull requests do not belong in this repository; contributors use wordpress-develop and Core Trac. The packaged readme requires PHP 7.4 or later and MySQL 5.5.5 or later, recommending PHP 8.3 or later and MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.11 or later. Back up modified files and the database before updates.

Supplemental curator note

Selected for the large gap between worldwide adoption and GitHub stars and for splitting distribution, discovery, and contribution assets across several destinations.
