## Workflows

### Create a Page

**Local (Docker):**
```bash
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post create \
  --post_type=page \
  --post_title="Privacy Policy" \
  --post_name="privacy-policy" \
  --post_status="publish" \
  --allow-root
```

**Production (REST API):**
```bash
curl -X POST "https://csrdevelopment.com/wp-json/wp/v2/pages" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic BASE64_CREDENTIALS" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Privacy Policy",
    "slug": "privacy-policy",
    "status": "publish",
    "template": "page-privacy-policy.php"
  }'
```

### Set Page Template

```bash
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post meta update <POST_ID> _wp_page_template "page-privacy-policy.php" --allow-root
```

### Configure SEO (Yoast)

**Requirements:** Theme must have Yoast meta fields registered (see functions.php snippet below)

```bash
# Set focus keyphrase
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post meta update <POST_ID> _yoast_wpseo_focuskw "privacy policy miami real estate" --allow-root

# Set meta description (155 chars max, include focus keyword)
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post meta update <POST_ID> _yoast_wpseo_metadesc "Learn how CSR Real Estate protects your privacy and handles personal information on our Miami real estate development website." --allow-root

# Set SEO title
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post meta update <POST_ID> _yoast_wpseo_title "Privacy Policy | CSR Real Estate" --allow-root
```

### Upload Media

**From URL:**
```bash
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp media import "https://images.pexels.com/photos/123456/image.jpg" --title="Privacy Header" --allow-root
```

**Set Featured Image:**
```bash
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post meta update <POST_ID> _thumbnail_id <MEDIA_ID> --allow-root
```

### List Pages/Posts

```bash
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post list --post_type=page --allow-root
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post list --post_type=post --allow-root
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp post list --post_type=property --allow-root
```

### Check/Install Plugins

```bash
# List installed plugins
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp plugin list --allow-root

# Install and activate a plugin
docker exec wordpress-local-wordpress-1 wp plugin install wordpress-seo --activate --allow-root
```

## SEO Best Practices

### Focus Keyphrase
- 2-4 words that describe the page content
- Should appear in title, meta description, and content
- Use naturally, don't keyword stuff

### Meta Description
- 150-155 characters max
- Include focus keyphrase
- Compelling call to action
- Unique for each page

### Page Title (SEO Title)
- 50-60 characters max
- Focus keyphrase near the beginning
- Brand name at the end (e.g., "Title | CSR Real Estate")

### Featured Image
- Every page/post should have one
- Optimized file size (< 200KB)
- Descriptive alt text with keyphrase

## Required Theme Modification

Add to theme's `functions.php` to enable Yoast fields via REST API:

```php
// Enable Yoast SEO fields in REST API
function enable_yoast_rest_api() {
    $post_types = ['post', 'page', 'property'];
    foreach ($post_types as $type) {
        register_post_meta($type, '_yoast_wpseo_focuskw', [
            'show_in_rest' => true,
            'single' => true,
            'type' => 'string'
        ]);
        register_post_meta($type, '_yoast_wpseo_metadesc', [
            'show_in_rest' => true,
            'single' => true,
            'type' => 'string'
        ]);
        register_post_meta($type, '_yoast_wpseo_title', [
            'show_in_rest' => true,
            'single' => true,
            'type' => 'string'
        ]);
    }
}
add_action('init', 'enable_yoast_rest_api');
```
