Companion plugin

wpreef manages content, media and block-theme design with nothing installed. This plugin adds the parts WordPress does not expose over its REST API.

DOWNLOAD

wpreef Bridge 0.1.0

Works with WordPress 6.7 and newer. Do not unzip it.

With shell access: wp plugin install https://wpreef.app/wpreef-bridge.zip --activateDownload the plugin
THEN

Three steps

  1. 1

    Upload it to your site

    Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose the ZIP, then Install Now and Activate.
  2. 2

    Turn on what you want

    At Tools → wpreef. Site information, design, and content and media are on already; everything that changes how the site runs is off until you switch it on.
  3. 3

    Refresh your connector

    In Connect, reconnect the client so the new capabilities appear. Then ask your assistant to list the abilities on my site — you should see entries beginning wpreef/.
What it adds8
  • Switching, installing, updating and deleting themes.
  • WordPress, plugin and theme updates.
  • Customizer values and Additional CSS on classic themes.
  • Settings, permalink structure and image sizes.
  • Cron, caches and transients.
  • Custom fields the REST API does not expose.
  • Rebuilding thumbnails and replacing a media file in place.
  • Emptying the trash and deleting spam.
What stays under your control5
  • Anything that changes how your site runs is switched off until you turn it on at Tools → wpreef.
  • A switched-off group is not registered at all, so an assistant cannot even see it.
  • Settings that could lock you out — your site address, active plugins, security keys — can never be written.
  • Every change is listed with its previous value, behind a stop switch.
  • An assistant can still only do what the WordPress account it signed in as is allowed to do.

WordPress’s own REST API can only install plugins from wordpress.org, so an assistant cannot install this one for you yet. That changes once the plugin is listed there.
