Install Beaver Builder via Composer
You can install Beaver Builder Plugin, Beaver Builder Theme, or Beaver Themer via Composer.
Install with composer.json​
Create a composer.json file in your WordPress root folder and add the following code. Replace KEY with your key from your My Account page.
{
"repositories": {
"beaver-builder": {
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://composer.wpbeaverbuilder.com/KEY"
}
},
"require": {
"beaver-builder/bb-plugin-pro": "*",
"beaver-builder/bb-theme": "*",
"beaver-builder/bb-theme-builder": "*"
}
}
Run composer install
in CLI to install the latest versions of all three
packages in their correct plugin and theme folders. To install specific
versions, substitute the * in the JSON file with the version you require.
Using a global config​
You can add your repo link to the global composer config so you can then install the packages via CLI without even needing a composer.json file. Run the following command in CLI:
composer config --global repositories.beaver-builder composer https://composer.wpbeaverbuilder.com/KEY
After the global config is added you can then install any version of any package with a single-line command. Here are a few examples:
composer require beaver-builder/bb-plugin-pro
installs the latest
available Pro version of Beaver Builder. Substitute the following for your
version of the plugin:
- Standard version:
bb-plugin-standard
- Pro version:
bb-plugin-pro
- Agency version:
bb-plugin-agency
composer require beaver-builder/bb-plugin-pro:2.3.1
installs the Pro
version 2.3.1 of Beaver Builder.
composer require beaver-builder/bb-theme
will install the latest version of
the Beaver Builder Theme.
composer require beaver-builder/bb-theme-builder
will install the latest
version of Beaver Themer.
