---# 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 |
**Menus**: Navigation menus have limited REST API support. The `/wp-json/wp/v2/navigation` endpoint exists for block-based navigation in FSE themes. For classic menus, use WP-CLI.

## Critical Patterns
### HTML Content in WP-CLI
For anything beyond a sentence, write HTML to a temp file and pass it:
```bash
cat > /tmp/post-content.html << 'EOF'
<h2>Section Heading</h2>
<p>Paragraph content with <strong>bold</strong> and <a href="/link">links</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>List item one</li>
<li>List item two</li>
</ul>
EOF
wp @site post create /tmp/post-content.html --post_title="My Post" --post_status=draft
```
Shell quoting in `--post_content` is fragile for complex HTML.
### Bulk Operations
For creating many posts, use a loop with verification:
```bash
while IFS=, read -r title slug content_file category; do
wp @site post create "$content_file" \
--post_type=post \
--post_title="$title" \
--post_name="$slug" \
--post_category="$category" \
--post_status=draft
sleep 0.5
done < posts.csv
```
Always create as `draft` first, review, then bulk-publish.
