What are the Default Sites?

VVV creates and sets up several WordPress installs for you automatically, these are:

• http://local.wordpress.dev - a standard WordPress install
• http://src.wordpress-develop.dev and http://build.wordpress-develop.dev - a copy of the develop branch of WordPress

You can see these in your VVV config, allowing you to make new sites, or remove the built in sites if you so choose.

VVV as a MAMP/XAMPP Replacement

Multiple projects can be developed at once in the same environment.

• Use wp-content/themes in either the www/wordpress-default or www/wordpress-develop/src directories to develop themes.
• Use wp-content/plugins in either the www/wordpress-default or www/wordpress-develop/src directories to develop plugins.
• Take advantage of VVV’s auto site configuration to provision additional instances of WordPress in www/. The Variable VVV project helps to automate this process.
• Use the www/wordpress-develop directory to participate in WordPress core development.

VVV’s config, database, log and www directories are shared with the virtualized server.

These shared directories allow you to work, for example, in vagrant-local/www/wordpress-default in your local file system and have those changes immediately reflected in the virtualized server’s file system and http://local.wordpress.dev/. Likewise, if you vagrant ssh and make modifications to the files in /srv/www/, you’ll immediately see those changes in your local file system.
