One of my clients need to remove their bedrock-files and go back to “Vanilla WP”.
Their website is on a shared hosting and the environment was done by previous developers.
Is it safe to go back to vanilla like this? (their live website is quite big so we need to do as little as possible with certain things and need to do it through FTP sadly):
-
Remove composer and composer.lock from root dir
-
Copy the directory (with files) /wp-includes FROM /wp/ to root /
-
Copy the directory (with files) /wp-admin FROM /wp/ to root /
-
Copy the files that are right inside of the /wp/ to root /
-
Replace wp-config in root, with a new one (that follows the vanilla wp structure, updated with the current db details of the website)
-
Remove all files from /mu-plugins in /wp-content/mu-plugins (related to bedrock)
-
Then I will go to their database and remove /wp from the siteurl inside of wp_options
I hope this is okay to ask here. I’m happy to get some confirmation on this if possible. I have installed bedrock but never gone back to vanilla like this before.
I have tested it out on my own server and it seems to work but I’m not fully sure if there will be something missing when you use it like this.
