WordPress for Modern Developers
summary
Runs Lumen as a WordPress theme to get routing, Blade-style templates and Eloquent-style controllers inside WP, capturing WordPress’s template-hierarchy attempts and mapping them to Lumen routes so author-sam → route works. Uses corcel to model WP posts, hands WordPress’s mysqli connection into Eloquent via a custom mysqli driver to avoid a second DB connection, and replaces the fragile WP Loop by collecting post IDs and loading stable models. Prototype works but is experimental and not production-ready.
