Hello Guixers,

I looked for "wordpress" in the package list and I couldn't find it.

Does it mean we can't install wordpress in Guix or is there a workaround?

I doubt wordpress can reasonably be used with a document-root on a 
read-only filesystem (which Guix creates).

The reason for this is that many plugins create additional files below 
document.root, depending on the configuration you make via the Web 
interface. E.g. if you add custom CSS, the plugin will create a file 
containing the CSS.

Workaround would be to configure the webserver service to serve a 
website from a read-write-able document-root. See 
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Web-Services.html for examples.

Besides the webserver you also need to add php-fpm-service-type;
then it should be enough to drop a php project into some place on
the webserver to have it served. I assume that Wordpress could be
used like this.
