Mocking your ideal application state for tests still takes a fair amount of effort. It would be cool to see a WP-CLI command to: Stash your current database. Interactively create your mocked data. Export mocked data for use in tests. Restore your database. From a Twitter thread with Joe.
On WordPress projects where the entire application is defined by the theme, it can be common to submodule or directly commit WordPress plugins to a directory like theme-name/lib. However, in doing so, you lose out on WordPress’ built-in update tracking. It would be cool to have a utility plugin that loads theme-specific plugins into the Manage Plugins […]
Much of the WP REST API v2 documentation is automatically generated from demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/?context=help. A Ruby script dumps the JSON into _data, and Jekyll generates pages like this: It would be cool if someone wrote a WordPress theme (or plugin) to automatically generate a documentation site from a WP REST API index — and the only configuration parameter was […]
A good measure of the utility of WP_REST_Posts_Controller and brethren would be to test how much (or little) time it takes for a developer to correctly model their custom post type data by extending it. If it’s easy to do, then we’ve established a great abstraction. If there are pain points or places we need to […]
It would be neat if WP-CLI included a rudimentary backup and restore process for this use case: richard.tape [8:19 AM] anyone used wocker? I’m looking to set up a dev environment that I can share with someone else so they’re able to more easily help me debug a problem and I want to modify the base […]
It seems like every time I do a migration with the WordPress importer, something about my data breaks. For instance, while writing my Year in Review post just now, I noticed last year’s post has an incorrect image: The image should be the visualization. It would be really neat if I could verify a migration with WP-CLI. […]
I’d pay a couple bucks a month for a service to automatically push photos from Google Photos to Amazon Glacier, as a sort of catastrophic backup service.
