Why This Module Matters
This module is written for CLI-first ACF Pro practitioners. Every lesson favors reproducible scripts, runtime checks, and deterministic schema operations over manual admin-only workflows.
What You Will Practice
- Implement ACF Pro workflows with PHP, WP-CLI, and shell commands.
- Validate schema and runtime behavior using repeatable checks.
- Apply production-safe patterns for migration, testing, and rollback.
- Document operational outcomes in version-controlled artifacts.
Prerequisites For This Module
- ACF Pro active in the target environment.
- Access to WP-CLI and project repository.
- Staging environment for safe validation before production.
