WordPress Expert: User Guide

What This Skill Is

This skill equips your OpenClaw agent with the necessary instructions and checklists to manage your existing WordPress website. It empowers the AI to perform tasks related to content, settings, media, plugins, themes, and extensions like WooCommerce or Elementor.

The AI typically communicates with your site via secure web interfaces (HTTPS/REST). If configured accordingly, it can also work directly via the terminal (WP-CLI) or at the file level.

Urgent Recommendation: The Companion Plugin

For the AI to work precisely and safely, you should install the companion plugin wordpress-site-tools on the computer/server where your OpenClaw gateway runs: github.com/realM1lF/openclaw-wordpress-tool.

• Why? This plugin provides typed tools (e.g. wordpress_rest_request, wordpress_wp_cli, wordpress_connection_check, optional media and plugin file access).
• Benefit: Clearer, easier to audit, and easier to allowlist than ad-hoc exec/curl. Without it, the skill still documents fallbacks—more manual and error-prone.
