PressHelm Docs

Your AI developer for WordPress, explained.

PressHelm turns a chat into real work on your site. You say what you want, it plans, asks you when it matters, does the job, checks the site, and keeps every change undoable. This manual shows you how, with real examples.

A task, start to finish#

This is what working with PressHelm feels like. You write like you would to a person; it does the work and reports back with proof.

Your Telegram bot
Our summer sale starts Monday. Make a hero image for the Shop page, add it at the top, and make the whole page load faster.
Here is my plan: 1) make a wide sunny product image with your Gemini key (about $0.03), 2) add it at the top of Shop, 3) convert the 14 JPEG images on that page to WebP. One approval covers all three.
Approval needed: mysite.com
Plan: summer hero image, place it on Shop, convert 14 images to WebP.
  • Cost: about $0.03 on your own Gemini account
  • Recovery: “undo this task” puts every step back

✅ Approved
Done. Shop now opens with the new hero, and its images are 41% lighter.
✓ Image made and added to the media library
✓ Hero block added; it shows on the live page
✓ 14 images converted, links updated
✓ Site checked: OK

How it works#

1 · You askIn your own Telegram bot, or in Claude or ChatGPT, in plain words.
2 · PressHelm plansIt reads your site first, then picks the right tools and asks you when it matters.
3 · Your site does itThe PressHelm plugin runs each step, saves the before-state, then checks the site.
4 · You get a receiptWhat changed, from PressHelm’s own records, with one-tap Undo.

The AI never touches your site directly. It can only ask for one of more than 130 specific, checked actions, each signed by PressHelm Cloud and verified by the plugin on your site before it runs. Your rules (what is off, what always needs you) are enforced on your site itself.
