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.
