AI for WordPress Maintenance Evidence

Maintenance is an operational discipline, not a license to let an assistant change software. Phase 2 establishes the first evidence workflow: a read-only plugin inventory with stable identity, ownership and explicit separation from updates or deletion.

Use this hub to move from a business question to a controlled WordPress task. Start with the outcome, inspect the evidence, choose the lowest useful permission and verify the result before any change is published.

What you can learn here

• Inventory plugins without changing their state.
• Record exact package identity, status, version and ownership.
• Separate documentation gaps from security conclusions.
• Prepare future maintenance and development guides on a governed foundation.
• Revoke the evidence-gathering identity after the snapshot.

Start with the level you actually need

1. Public analysis: use pages or exports without connecting an assistant to WordPress.
2. Read-only inspection: connect a dedicated identity only when internal records are necessary.
3. Draft preparation: let the assistant prepare unpublished work after the analysis is approved.
4. Controlled editing: apply a reviewed change set through the narrowest capable profile.
5. Publication: keep this as an explicit, exceptional decision rather than an invisible default.

How to Inventory WordPress Plugins with AI

Create a read-only WordPress plugin inventory with status, version, ownership and evidence while keeping updates, activation, deactivation and deletion outside the task.

How this collection relates to WP Agent Control

This is a general WordPress workflow, not a promise that Agent Control can edit every object or integration discussed here. For the guided path, start with public pages; plugin, theme, user, setting, file, deletion, WooCommerce, ACF and builder operations are not native guided tasks. Use separately qualified tools and permissions where required.

Get structured site information and inspect selected published pages after connecting. No temporary task is needed for this public reading. You can also browse public pages without the plugin; Agent Control adds structured access and a path toward authorized WordPress work.

Recommended learning path

1. Confirm that the retrieval method is non-writing.
2. Capture exact plugin identities and multisite context.
3. Join owner, purpose, license and dependency evidence.
4. Freeze the inventory and create separate review tasks.
5. Never upgrade a Read Only inventory into Full Power implicitly.

Evidence standard

A page in this collection should distinguish facts retrieved from WordPress or another named source from AI interpretations and human decisions. Technical procedures require a reproducible lab run before publication. Marketing and UX recommendations remain hypotheses until tested with real users or business data.
