Creating a new WordPress site involves multiple steps: Downloading WordPress Setting up databases Configuring wp-config.php Running the installer Setting up local domains When working with multiple client sites, these steps consume hours of development time, especially when dealing with Windows-specific issues like the dreaded "sh not found" error. The Solution: WordPress Site Creator I've developed a Python script that automates the entire WordPress setup process specifically for Laravel Herd environments.

Automating WordPress Site Creation in Laravel Herd Environments
A Python tool that streamlines WordPress development workflows
The Problem: WordPress Setup Takes Too Much Time
As WordPress developers, we've all been there - spending precious time on repetitive setup tasks instead of actual development. Creating a new WordPress site involves multiple steps:
- Downloading WordPress
- Setting up databases
- Configuring wp-config.php
- Running the installer
- Setting up local domains
When working with multiple client sites, these steps consume hours of development time, especially when dealing with Windows-specific issues like the dreaded "sh not found" error.
The Solution: WordPress Site Creator
I've developed a Python script that automates the entire WordPress setup process specifically for Laravel Herd environments. With a single command, you can:
python create_wordpress.py client-site
This command automatically:
- Downloads and extracts the latest WordPress version
- Creates and configures a MySQL database
- Generates secure WordPress salts
- Registers the site with Laravel Herd
- Secures the site with SSL certificate
- Completes WordPress installation via WP-CLI
Key Features
- Windows Compatibility: Handles common Windows-specific WP-CLI errors
- Multiple Fallback Methods: If one installation approach fails, it tries alternatives
- Customizable Configuration: Override defaults via command-line arguments
- Detailed Error Handling: Clear error messages and troubleshooting suggestions
How It Works
The script orchestrates several processes:
- WordPress Download: Fetches the latest version directly from wordpress.org
- Database Setup: Connects to MySQL and creates a new database
- Configuration: Generates a properly configured wp-config.php file
- Laravel Herd Integration: Registers the site and secures it with SSL
- WordPress Installation: Uses WP-CLI to complete the installation process
Example Advanced Usage
python create_wordpress.py client-site --title="Client Website" --admin-user="clientadmin" --admin-pass="secure_password" --admin-email="client@example.com"
