When you get used to @insta_wp instant WP installs, it's painful waiting 15 mins for @wpengine to create an install. WHY SO SLOW. Other than that, WPE is great, don't @ me.

INSTAWP CLI Creates and manages WordPress sites from the terminal, with free local sites and paid cloud ones. It's built to be driven by an agent, with JSON output on every command. I tried it the same day and it worked nicely. Thanks @vikasprogrammer (he founded InstaWP)

The internet should help us find our people. Friendship. Community. A place to belong. Help me bring Orkut back in that spirit. Add your name at orkut.com and share your supporter card with someone you want to bring along. Love, Orkut

I'm proud to say Atarim now works at the hosting level!! 🤘 Connect @insta_wp or @RocketDotNet, and Atarim can list your sites, check backups & run hosting actions for you. The guardrail stays the same: if it writes or changes something, it waits for your YES. And if a run kicks off while you're asleep, Atarim goes read-only. It can look, check & report back. That's it. 🙂 What's the first hosting job you'd hand over? 👇 Here's the full changelog: labs.atarim.io/announcements

Quick shout out to @insta_wp for the fast & top quality email support I got from Deepak. A lot of support can be automated, but the problem I faced with a GitHub deployment needed a careful look, and Deepak did a great job. Will definitely continue using InstaWP for my demos.

Last week was Koko Analytics Pro's best week yet. Today beat it. More licenses sold today than in the entire previous week. Months of small improvements are finally compounding. On track for 4x revenue this year. 🙂

We've barely scratched what AI can do for WordPress. Writing blogs and building plugins was the easy part. The real power is running the sites. On July 16, @vikasprogrammer and @kylevandeusen go live and let AI loose on real WordPress sites. Come watch what it can actually do. Free to join. Register here: theadminbar.com/events/you-d…

yall im ngl its way harder to get joy and satisfaction out of building with ai than it was before constantly straddling burn out, being far less immersed in hard problems, constant context switching i’m tired of the uncertainty of where this is going and how to do it well

The way you build with WordPress is changing. We built InstaMCP so you're ahead of it. Our Claude for WordPress. Flip one toggle and every site in your account is connected to AI. Then you just ask: build a page, fix an error, update WooCommerce. Try it now : app.instawp.io/

My agent now has a skill for #wordpress support debugging. and it chooses the right tool based on the situation: Cove as primary → Playground CLI for quick smoke tests → InstaWP if shareability is needed → WP Codebox for agent experiments. Thanks to everyone for their input and suggestions! More info on each tool: Cove — default local repro stack. Real local WP with Caddy, FrankenPHP, MariaDB, Mailpit, WP-CLI, HTTPS + logs. Best when DB/PHP/email/plugin compatibility fidelity matters. WP Playground CLI — fastest smoke test. Great for quick clean installs, Blueprints, frontend/admin checks. Not enough alone for “can’t reproduce” because SQLite/WASM can differ from real hosting. InstaWP CLI — cloud escalation. Use when we need a shareable/live repro, closer hosting behavior, snapshots/rollback, remote logs, or a customer/support-inspectable site. WP Codebox — agent-safe experiments. Disposable WP sandboxes with recipes/artifacts/diffs/screenshots. Promising for risky patches and replayable repros. Unfortunately Studio CLI didn't make the cut - this was my agent's choice after reviewing the repos. If you think I should release the skill, then let me know
I want my agent to spin up a fresh local #wordpress environment and install plugins to do testing, take screenshots and create new plugins. What’s the best way to automate this? What are others using?
