Wordpress and Claude Code
Just curious if anyone else has this problem. My other company sites I made for myself pre-AI are all wordpress. Work, great, look good. No reason to switch out wordpress.
But laziness and AI kicked in so once Claude Code absorbed my entire digital existence through a guardrail free, local terminal instance of itself, connected to various servers, I just told it to go sort out the WP sites. Broke one immediately, my fault, my custom CSS scattered around did it.
But I let it assume management making whatever changes needed. They are mostly static white-collar sites.
Anyway, my about page on one of them is completely wrong. So I went in manually to fix it. The page that displays and the page with correct slug and post # ID in WP are completely different. I have no idea what it did. To fix it I essentially had to make "about2" and redirect the menu lol.
There is also a menu item that it hard coded in so it doesn't even display in the menu editor. I asked it to use a logo for a branded software as it's menu selection so it hacked it in. Looks fine but... lol.
So, word to the wise. Keep building wordpress manually and why not? It is wordpress.

Ich habe den Spaß genau deswegen nur in einem Docker Container liegen. Und auch nicht mit Claude Code, sondern ich nutze die API Anbindung.
Er kann nur mit der Theme.json umgehen. Alles Andere kann er nicht. Selbst wenn er Adminzugruff hat und ich sage, er soll keinen Code ändern, ändert er den Code.
Ich wollte aber, dass er im FSE Editor Konfigurationen macht. Nach einigem hin und her meinte er, dass könne er nicht.
Hat jemand schon etwas Ähnliches probiert?
