Laravel Valet and Bedrock Multisite

Valet is a great tool for local development environments on macOS. We’ve previously written about setting up Valet and Bedrock. Here are some steps for setting up Valet with a Bedrock multisite WordPress installation:

Subdomain installs

• wp valet new bedrock-multisite --project=bedrock
• Add to config/application.php in Bedrock:

  define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
  

• Visit https://bedrock-multisite.test/wp/wp-admin/network.php to install network, select subdomain install
• Add to .env: DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE=bedrock-multisite.test
• Update config/application.php again with full multisite constants:

  /**
   * Multisite
   */
  define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
  define('MULTISITE', true);
  define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
  define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', env('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE'));
  define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', env('PATH_CURRENT_SITE') ?: '/');
  define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', env('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE') ?: 1);
  define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', env('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE') ?: 1);
  

• Add the Bedrock multisite URL fixer plugin: composer require roots/multisite-url-fixer
• Link any subdomains to current site with Valet:

  valet link test.bedrock-multisite
  valet link site2.bedrock-multisite
  

Subfolder / subdirectory installs

• Copy the Bedrock multisite subdirectory driver into ~/.valet/Drivers/
• wp valet new bedrock-multisite --project=bedrock
• Add to config/application.php in Bedrock:

  define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
  

• Visit https://bedrock-multisite.test/wp/wp-admin/network.php to install network, select subfolder install
• Add to .env: DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE=bedrock-multisite.test
• Update config/application.php again with full multisite constants:

  /**
   * Multisite
   */
  define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
  define('MULTISITE', true);
  define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
  define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', env('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE'));
  define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', env('PATH_CURRENT_SITE') ?: '/');
  define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', env('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE') ?: 1);
  define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', env('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE') ?: 1);
  

• Add the Bedrock multisite URL fixer plugin: composer require roots/multisite-url-fixer

Thanks to Craig for the multisite subdirectory driver!
