Pick what fits you, copy the prompt, and paste it into your AI agent. Add Today WP to the agent first if it isn't yet.
Your agent asks a few questions first, then gives you a plan built on today's facts, not on what it learned a year ago.
I'm new to WordPress and I want a website for: [what it's for]. Use Today WP for current WordPress facts. First ask me, one question at a time: what the site is for, my yearly budget, who will maintain it, and how comfortable I am with tech. Then give me a short plan: 1. WordPress.com or self-hosted WordPress, with the trade-offs for my case. 2. What to check before I pay for hosting (https://todaywp.com/hosting). 3. The few plugins I need, with facts from Today WP (no rankings). 4. How an AI agent could help me run the site later (https://todaywp.com/connect). Mark what is a fact (with its source and date) and what is your advice.
Paste what your site runs: the WordPress and PHP versions, and the plugins and themes with their versions (from wp plugin list, or the Plugins screen).
Check my WordPress site with Today WP. WordPress: [version] PHP: [version] Plugins and themes, with versions: [paste wp plugin list and wp theme list, or the names and versions from the Plugins screen] Use wp_security, then tell me: 1. What to update or replace first, and why. 2. The steps, starting with a backup. 3. What changed in WordPress recently that matters for my site (wp_now). If something is missing, ask me for it.
Your agent reads the site through its own connection and checks it with Today WP. Nothing changes on the site until you say yes.
You can read my WordPress site through its own connection, and Today WP gives you current WordPress facts. 1. Read the site's WordPress and PHP versions, and its plugins and themes with their versions, using the site's tools. 2. Pass them to Today WP's wp_security, and check wp_now for recent changes. 3. Show me what to update first and why. Don't change anything on the site until I say yes to each step, and make a backup first.
Your agent checks what changed since its training before writing code, and uses the official docs.
For this WordPress work, use Today WP before writing code: 1. Call wp_now with since set to your training cutoff, to see what changed (deprecations, new APIs). 2. Use wp_docs for the official page of any function, hook, block or REST route you use. 3. Use wp_plugin for facts about the plugins this project depends on, and wp_security for their known vulnerabilities. Tell me when something you were about to write is outdated.
