# WordPress Content

Create, update, and manage WordPress content, posts, pages, media, categories, tags, and menus. Produces live content on the site via WP-CLI or the REST API.

## Prerequisites

- Working WP-CLI SSH connection or REST API credentials (use **wordpress-setup** skill)
- Site config from `wordpress.config.json` or `wp-cli.yml`

## Workflow

### Step 1: Determine the Operation

| Task | Best Method |
|------|-------------|
| Create/edit single post or page | WP-CLI `wp post create/update` |
| Bulk create posts | WP-CLI loop or REST API batch |
| Upload images/media | WP-CLI `wp media import` |
| Manage categories/tags | WP-CLI `wp term` |
| Update navigation menus | WP-CLI `wp menu` |
| Scheduled posts | WP-CLI with `--post_date` |
| Complex HTML content | Write to temp file, pass to WP-CLI |
| No SSH access available | REST API with Application Password |

### Step 2: Create Content

#### Blog Posts

```bash
# Simple post
wp @site post create \
  --post_type=post \
  --post_title="My New Blog Post" \
  --post_content="<p>Post content here.</p>" \
  --post_status=draft \
  --post_category=3,5

# Post from HTML file (better for long content)
wp @site post create ./post-content.html \
  --post_type=post \
  --post_title="My New Blog Post" \
  --post_status=draft \
  --post_excerpt="A brief summary of the post." \
  --post_category=3,5 \
  --tags_input="tag1,tag2"
```

**Post statuses**: `draft`, `publish`, `pending`, `future` (use with `--post_date`)

#### Pages

```bash
wp @site post create \
  --post_type=page \
  --post_title="About Us" \
  --post_content="<h2>Our Story</h2><p>Content here...</p>" \
  --post_status=publish \
  --post_parent=0 \
  --menu_order=10
```

#### Scheduled Posts

```bash
wp @site post create \
  --post_type=post \
  --post_title="Scheduled Post" \
  --post_content="<p>This goes live tomorrow.</p>" \
  --post_status=future \
  --post_date="2026-02-23 09:00:00"
```
