We run a WP-CLI batch operation exactly to a spec you supply — a one-time, scripted task executed directly against your site’s data rather than something left running afterward. Once it completes and you’ve verified the result, there’s nothing ongoing for you to own or maintain.
WP-CLI batch operation from supplied spec
A one-time WP-CLI operation run and verified — nothing left running once it's done.
- Full backup taken before we start
- If we can’t fix it, you get your money back
- We never ask for your own password
What we need from you
- A clear spec of exactly what the batch operation should do
- FTP or hosting access sufficient to run WP-CLI commands
- A staging environment or agreement to test on one first, if the operation is significant in scope
This or something else?
| You have a specific, one-time batch operation ready to run via WP-CLI | This fix covers it |
| You want this same operation to run automatically on a recurring schedule, not just once | Scheduled task automation setup, or Custom cron job creation & monitoring, the ongoing-automation versions |
| You need a bulk data transformation involving more complex logic than a WP-CLI command covers | Bulk data transformation script, a more involved version of this same principle |
| You’re not sure WP-CLI is the right tool for what you need done | Worth describing your actual goal, so we can confirm the right approach |
What we do
- Review the supplied spec and confirm the correct WP-CLI approach
- Test the operation on a staging copy first, if the scope is significant
- Run the operation against the live site
- Verify the result matches the intended outcome
- Check for any unintended side effects
- Provide a written summary of what was executed and its outcome
What is included
- A one-time batch operation executed exactly to your supplied spec
- Staging testing first, for operations of significant scope
- Verified outcome matching your intent
- The pre-operation backup, kept for 30 days
Not included
- Setting this operation up to run automatically on a schedule, a separate, different kind of fix
- Designing the operation’s logic if you don’t already have a clear spec — worth discussing your actual goal first
- Ongoing maintenance, since this is a one-time, completed operation, not persistent automation
- Undoing the operation once verified and confirmed correct, beyond the standard 30-day backup
Questions about this fix
Does this leave anything running on my site afterward?
No — this executes a defined operation once and completes; there's no ongoing script, schedule, or automation left running, and nothing for you to maintain or monitor after it's done.
What if I want this exact operation to run again in future?
This specific fix is scoped as a one-time execution — if you want the same logic to run automatically and repeatedly, that's a different kind of fix (scheduled automation), which carries its own separate considerations about ongoing ownership.
How do I know the operation actually did what I wanted?
We verify the result against your specified intent before considering the fix complete, and provide a written summary — worth reviewing it yourself as well, since you know your data and goals best.
What's the safety net if the operation does something unexpected?
A pre-operation backup is kept specifically for this, so the result can be rolled back if genuinely needed — combined with staging testing beforehand for anything significant in scope, which is meant to catch a problem before it ever reaches the live run.
Can I supply the exact WP-CLI commands myself, or do you write them?
Either works — if you already know the specific commands needed, we can review and run them; if you describe the goal instead, we'll determine the appropriate commands to achieve it.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
