Wordpress

1. Enable the WordPress REST API (default in modern WordPress).
2. Create an Application Password for a WordPress user.
3. Confirm the user has the right role (e.g., Editor/Admin).

Install

cd wordpress
npm install

Run

node scripts/wp-cli.js help
node scripts/wp-cli.js posts:list --query per_page=5
node scripts/wp-cli.js posts:create '@post.json'

You can also use npm:

npm run wp -- posts:list --query per_page=5

Credentials

Supported options (first match wins):

• Basic auth token: WP_BASIC_TOKEN (base64 of user:app_password)
• User + app password: WP_USER + WP_APP_PASSWORD
• JWT bearer token: WP_JWT_TOKEN

Required env

• WP_BASE_URL (e.g., https://example.com)

Input conventions

• JSON can be inline or loaded from file with @path.
• Query params use --query key=value (repeatable) or --query key1=value1,key2=value2.

Security notes

• Use a dedicated low-privilege WordPress account where possible.
