WordPress Automation Services
Manually clicking through wp-admin to update ten plugins across eight environments isn’t maintenance — it’s a queue for something to go wrong. I set up the same Git, CI/CD, and WP-CLI workflows I use on 4WP.dev’s own plugins so a deploy is a command, not a checklist.
What I automate
- Git workflows — branching strategy, protected environments, deploy-on-merge, matched to how the team actually ships, not a generic template.
- CI/CD pipelines — automated tests, linting, and staging deploys before anything touches production.
- WP-CLI tooling — custom commands for repetitive admin tasks: bulk content operations, database migrations, environment sync.
- MCP-driven automation — connecting WordPress to AI agents and external tools through the Model Context Protocol, for workflows that go beyond a cron job.
Proof, not a pitch deck
The same stack documented in the Tools section — Composer, Git, CI/CD, and the full WP-CLI command reference — is what runs the 4WP plugin ecosystem: 10 plugins, one deploy process.
How I work
- Map the current process first. Most “automation” requests are really a manual process nobody’s mapped end to end.
- Automate the boring, error-prone steps; leave judgment calls to people.
- Document the pipeline so it survives me leaving the project.
Who this is for
Teams deploying WordPress like software — multiple environments, multiple developers, releases that can’t depend on someone remembering to clear a cache. Not for a single site updated twice a year; a WP-CLI cheat sheet covers that.
Get started
Tell me what currently takes the longest to deploy or update. I’ll scope it honestly — including telling you when a saved WP-CLI alias solves it and a pipeline is overkill.
