We are seeking an experienced WordPress Automation Developer to create a custom web-based interface that streamlines the deployment of WordPress sites across subdomains and subdirectories. This system will automate the process of installing a main WordPress site, cloning it to subdomains, and then generating multiple subdirectory sites under each subdomain. The interface should be simple, branded with our company’s design, and allow non-technical users to execute the deployment process with ease.
Key Responsibilities:
• Develop a Custom Web Interface:
• Build a user-friendly online interface with our company’s branding that enables the automated installation and deployment of WordPress sites.
• Ensure that the interface is straightforward, allowing an admin to trigger the installation and cloning processes with minimal input.
• Provide the ability to input a list of technologies or names that will be used to create subdirectories under the main domain.
• Automate WordPress Deployment:
• Automate the installation of a main WordPress site on a primary subdomain.
• Clone the main WordPress site to a list of predefined subdomains.
• Automatically create subdirectory sites under each subdomain using the list provided by the user.
• Ensure each site is fully independent, with separate databases and configurations.
• Integrate with Cloud Services:
• Utilize our existing cloud account and its API to manage DNS settings, ensuring seamless creation of subdomains.
• Automate DNS entries for each new subdomain created during the process.
• Admin Access and Security:
• Provide admin access through the standard WordPress wp-admin interface for each deployed site, eliminating the need for backend access to the custom interface.
• Ensure that the system is secure and that each site operates independently without risk of cross-site contamination.
• Output and Documentation:
• Upon completion of each deployment, the system should generate a list of the completed links (e.g., subdomain.domain.com/technology), which the admin can easily access.
• Provide clear documentation and inline help within the interface to guide users through the process.
Required Skills:
• Proficiency in WordPress Development:
• Deep understanding of WordPress core, custom development, and automation techniques.
• Experience with WordPress Multisite (though this project requires independent site installations) and managing multiple WordPress instances.
• Web Development:
• Strong skills in PHP, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and familiarity with web frameworks.
• Experience in developing user interfaces with a focus on simplicity and usability.
• Automation and Scripting:
• Ability to write scripts (Bash, Python, PHP) that automate web tasks, particularly in deploying and configuring WordPress sites.
• Familiarity with WP-CLI for managing WordPress installations via command line.
• Cloud Integration:
• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and their APIs, particularly for DNS management and automation.
• Understanding of API integration and managing DNS records programmatically.
• Security and Best Practices:
• Ensure that the deployed sites are secure and follow WordPress security best practices.
• Familiarity with managing user access, roles, and permissions within WordPress.
Additional Considerations:
• Experience with All-in-One WP Migration or similar tools: To streamline the cloning process.
• Version Control: Familiarity with Git for managing and versioning the codebase.
Deliverables:
• A branded, online web interface with login capabilities for authorized users.
