WordPress From the Terminal — Claude Code Portfolio

🔧

Full site control, zero wp-admin clicking

⚡ "Update the homepage" is now a sentence

The problem

WordPress changes meant clicking through wp-admin — slow, manual, error-prone.

Claude Code established SSH access through the WP Engine gateway and now drives the site with wp-cli: updates, content, checks — all conversational.

"Update the homepage copy" is now a sentence, not a session.

Is it safe to let AI touch production WordPress?

Changes are specific and reviewable — wp-cli commands are far more auditable than clicking around wp-admin.
