Large WordPress content platforms often contain thousands of articles maintained by editorial and SEO teams over many years. Over time, this creates content debt: outdated blocks and shortcodes, inconsistent links, missing image ALT text, legacy markup, and other large-scale issues that are impossible to fix manually. In this hands-on workshop, participants will build practical WP-CLI commands designed for large-scale WordPress content operations. Together, we will create reusable and production-safe WP-CLI scripts that can: perform bulk content transformations, migrate blocks and shortcodes, normalize internal links, generate missing image ALT text using OpenAI, The workshop will focus on real engineering workflows used for maintaining large WordPress sites and multisite installations. Participants will learn how to: structure reusable WP-CLI command classes, process posts safely in batches, work with parameters like: limit offset category_id dry-run integrate external APIs, and evolve one-time migration scripts into automated cron-based maintenance workflows. By the end of the session, attendees will have built multiple practical WP-CLI commands and gained patterns they can immediately apply to large WordPress projects. Participants should bring a laptop with LocalWP or a Docker development environment installed.
