WordPress

In this module you will install and configure WordPress using WP-CLI.

You'll set up a safe system-wide installation of the CLI tool, and learn about ways to keep it up to date. You will use WP-CLI to download and install WordPress, while avoiding bots that try to hi-jack unfinished installs.

You will further secure your setup, mainly from yourself, by disabling some destructive WP-CLI commands through a YAML configuration. You will then configure your system cron to invoke the WordPress cron and learn how to manage it.

Finally, you will dive into logging with WordPress, and learn how to log per-site WP-CLI errors, cron invocations and even a per-site WP-CLI command log for audit purposes.
