WordPress Runbook Template
WordPress operations runbook template: production procedures for deployment, maintenance, backup, incident response, and recovery.
Run WordPress with a Playbook
This runbook template is a 100-hour head start to help your team answer the question, “How do I do X?” for a specific WordPress instance: numbered procedures, expected outcomes, rollback instructions, and copy-pasteable commands for the people running the site.
Break-glass procedures are a natural fit for this format — the steps you take when normal access paths have failed. A break-glass entry names the trigger condition, the recovery path, and copy-pasteable commands.
It is designed for sysadmins, DevOps engineers, and WordPress developers responsible for deployment, maintenance, backup verification, incident response, and disaster recovery.
