# TASK-004: Native CMS and WordPress Removal

**Status:** ✅ complete (verified)
**Created:** 2026-01-02

## Critical Context (READ FIRST)

**WordPress served its purpose. Now we own the content layer.**

### The Current State

WordPress (hestia.host.uk.com) has been the content backend for satellite sites:
- Blog posts and help articles synced via REST API
- ContentItem model stores local copies with sync metadata
- SatelliteService uses "local-first" pattern (check DB, fallback to WP API)
- Webhook integration for real-time sync

This worked for bootstrapping, but creates:
- **Operational overhead** — two systems to maintain
- **Sync complexity** — race conditions, stale content, webhook failures
- **Stack mismatch** — PHP ↔ WordPress when we could be pure Laravel
- **Future friction** — MCP integration wants native content, not WP bridges

### The Vision

A fully native content management system where:
- ContentItem is the **source of truth** (not a sync cache)
- Content Editor at `/hub/content-editor/{workspace}/new/{contentType}` is the primary authoring tool
- AI assistance via MCP for content generation, SEO, translation
- Satellite sites serve directly from Laravel (no WordPress dependency)
- WordPress can re-integrate later as *one option among many* (headless CMS, not *the* CMS)

### Why Now

1. Content Editor already exists and works well
2. SatelliteService already has local-first logic
3. MCP Portal (mcp.host.uk.com) needs native content APIs
4. Phase 42 content generation uses native workflows
5. WordPress hosting is an unnecessary cost

---

## Objective

Remove WordPress as a required dependency for satellite site content. Make the native Content Editor the primary authoring tool, with ContentItem as the source of truth. Prepare the content layer for MCP integration (AI-assisted content creation, semantic search, agent access).

**"Done" looks like:**
- Satellite sites (blog, help) serve content entirely from Laravel database
- Content Editor is the only place to create/edit content
- No WordPress API calls in normal operation
- MCP tools can read/write content natively
- WordPress integration exists as an optional import/export feature

---

## Acceptance Criteria

### Phase 1: Remove WordPress Dependency ✅ VERIFIED

- [x] AC1: SatelliteService never calls WordPressService in normal operation

## Migration Strategy

### Zero Downtime Approach

1. **Phase 1a: Add native support alongside WordPress**
   - Keep WordPress sync running
   - Add `content_type = 'native'` capability
   - Content Editor creates native content
   - SatelliteService prefers native, falls back to WordPress

2. **Phase 1b: Migrate existing content**
   - Run one-time migration to copy `wordpress` → `native`
   - Verify all satellite pages render correctly
   - Monitor for 1 week

3. **Phase 1c: Disable WordPress sync**
   - Remove webhook registration
   - Set `CONTENT_SOURCE=native`
   - Keep WordPress running (read-only backup)

4. **Phase 1d: Remove WordPress**
   - Move sync code to `app/Legacy/`
   - Remove WordPress infrastructure
   - Update documentation

### Rollback Plan

If issues arise:
1. Set `CONTENT_SOURCE=wordpress`
2. SatelliteService reverts to WordPress fallback
3. Re-enable webhook sync
4. Content continues serving from WordPress

---

## Data Model Changes

### ContentItem Updates

```php
// New enum value
enum ContentType: string
{
    case WORDPRESS = 'wordpress';  // Legacy synced content
    case NATIVE = 'native';        // Native Host UK content
    case HOSTUK = 'hostuk';        // Keep for backwards compat, alias to native
    case SATELLITE = 'satellite';  // Per-satellite site content
}

// New fields (if not present)
Schema::table('content_items', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->timestamp('publish_at')->nullable()->after('status');
    $table->unsignedBigInteger('revision_of')->nullable()->after('id');
    $table->foreign('revision_of')->references('id')->on('content_items');
});
```

### New Table: content_revisions

```php
Schema::create('content_revisions', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->foreignId('content_item_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
    $table->foreignId('user_id')->nullable()->constrained();
    $table->string('title');
    $table->longText('content_json');
    $table->longText('content_html');
    $table->text('change_summary')->nullable();
    $table->timestamps();
});
```

## Risks and Mitigations

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|--------|------------|
| Content loss during migration | High | Backup before migration, keep WordPress running until verified |
| SEO impact from URL changes | Medium | Keep same URL structure, 301 redirects if needed |
| Editor bugs causing data loss | High | Implement autosave, revision history from day 1 |
| MCP tools expose sensitive content | Medium | Workspace permission checks, entitlement gating |

## Verification Results

### Phase 1 Verification: 2026-01-02 by Claude Opus 4.5 (Verification Agent)

| Criterion | Status | Evidence |
|-----------|--------|----------|
| AC1: SatelliteService never calls WordPressService | ✅ PASS | `grep WordPressService app/Services/SatelliteService.php` returns no matches. File uses only `ContentItem` queries with `->native()` scope. Lines 38-44, 76-80, 104-111, 128-134 all use `ContentItem::forWorkspace()->native()`. |
| AC2: ContentItem has `content_type = 'native'` (new default) | ✅ PASS | `ContentType::NATIVE` enum exists at `app/Enums/ContentType.php:16`. Model's `booted()` method at lines 444-452 sets default via `ContentType::default()` which returns `NATIVE`. |
| AC3: Blog pages render from native content only | ✅ PASS | `app/Livewire/Satellite/Blog.php` uses `SatelliteService::getPosts()` which queries `ContentItem::native()`. No WordPressService import. |
| AC4: Help pages render from native content only | ✅ PASS | `app/Livewire/Satellite/Help.php` queries `ContentItem::forWorkspace()->native()->pages()` directly at lines 38-44. No WordPressService import. |
| AC5: WordPress sync code moved to `app/Legacy/` | ✅ PASS | Files exist at `app/Legacy/WordPress/`: `WordPressService.php`, `ContentSyncService.php`, `ContentWebhookController.php`, `ProcessContentWebhook.php`. Original locations (`app/Services/WordPressService.php`, `app/Services/ContentSyncService.php`) return "No such file or directory". |
| AC6: `WORDPRESS_URL` env var is optional | ✅ PASS | `config/services.php:48-54` shows `content.source` defaults to `native` and `content.wordpress_enabled` defaults to `false`. WordPress config at lines 67-74 only read if enabled. `routes/api.php:41` gates WordPress routes behind `config('services.content.wordpress_enabled')`. |

**Additional Verification:**
- Migration `2026_01_02_140456_update_wordpress_content_to_native.php` exists and converts `wordpress`/`hostuk` to `native`
- Tests: `./vendor/bin/pest --filter="Satellite|Content"` — 67 passed (2 unrelated SocialProof failures)

**Verdict:** ✅ PASS — Phase 1 acceptance criteria AC1-AC6 all met. Ready for Phase 2 implementation.

Properties `$selectedCategories` and `$selectedTags` track selections. View has category checkboxes and tag input with add/remove UI in Settings tab. |
| AC10: Content Editor has SEO fields | ✅ PASS | `ContentEditor.php:53-56` declares `$seoTitle`, `$seoDescription`, `$seoKeywords`, `$ogImage`. Lines 447-451 save to `seo_meta` JSON field. View has SEO tab with character counters (70 for title, 160 for description) and search preview. |
| AC11: Content Editor has scheduling | ✅ PASS | `ContentEditor.php:49-50` declares `$publishAt` and `$isScheduled`. Lines 257-265 toggle scheduling. Method `schedule()` at lines 521-533 saves with status='future'. Migration adds `publish_at` column to content_items. View has scheduling toggle and datetime picker. |
| AC12: Content Editor has revision history | ✅ PASS | `ContentRevision` model at `app/Models/ContentRevision.php`. `ContentEditor.php:389-440` implements `loadRevisions()` and `restoreRevision()`. Save method creates revision via `ContentRevision::createFromContentItem()`. Migration creates `content_revisions` table. View has History tab with revision list and restore buttons. |

**Additional Verification:**
- Migrations exist: `2026_01_02_141713_add_scheduling_fields_to_content_items_table.php`, `2026_01_02_141714_create_content_revisions_table.php`

### Phase 4 Implementation Notes (2026-01-02)

**Completed by:** Claude Opus 4.5 (Implementation Agent)

Phase 4 implementation is complete. Summary of changes:

1. **ContentImportWordPress Command** (`app/Console/Commands/ContentImportWordPress.php`): Complete WordPress import artisan command with:
   - Batch import with progress bars for each content type
   - Support for posts, pages, categories, tags, authors, and media
   - JWT and Basic Auth support for private/draft content
   - `--dry-run` flag for preview mode (no database changes)
   - `--since` flag for incremental imports (ISO 8601 date filter)
   - `--limit` flag for controlling maximum items per type
   - `--skip-media` flag to skip file downloads (creates records only)
   - `--types` flag to select specific content types (default: posts,pages)
   - `--workspace` flag to target specific workspace
   - HTML entity decoding with smart quote normalization
   - SEO metadata extraction from Yoast and RankMath plugins
   - Idempotent operation (updates existing records, doesn't duplicate)

2. **Import Flow:**
   - Validates WordPress site accessibility via REST API
   - Resolves target workspace by ID or slug
   - Imports in dependency order: authors → categories → tags → media → posts → pages
   - Maps WordPress IDs to local IDs for relationship linking
   - Creates ContentMedia records with optional file download to storage disk
   - Syncs taxonomies with posts via pivot table

3. **Key Features:**
   - `ContentType::WORDPRESS` used for imported content (distinct from `NATIVE`)
   - `wp_id` and `wp_guid` preserved for reference
   - `sync_status = 'synced'` and `synced_at` timestamp recorded
   - Progress bars show import progress with created/updated/skipped counts
   - Scheduled posts imported with `status = 'future'` and `publish_at` set

4. **Tests** (`tests/Feature/Console/ContentImportWordPressTest.php`): 21 comprehensive tests covering:
   - Validation (site accessibility, workspace existence, date format)
   - Author imports and updates
   - Category and tag imports
   - Post and page imports with full field mapping
   - WordPress ID preservation
   - HTML entity handling and smart quote normalization
   - Category/tag linking on posts
   - Media imports with file download
   - Skip media flag (records without downloads)
   - Dry run mode
   - Incremental imports with --since
   - Idempotency (re-running updates, doesn't duplicate)
   - Limit option
   - SEO metadata extraction
   - Scheduled post handling

**Files Created:**
- `app/Console/Commands/ContentImportWordPress.php`
- `tests/Feature/Console/ContentImportWordPressTest.php`

**Usage Examples:**

```bash
# Basic import (posts and pages)
php artisan content:import-wordpress https://example.com --workspace=main

# Full import with all content types
php artisan content:import-wordpress https://example.com --workspace=main --types=authors,categories,tags,media,posts,pages

# Dry run preview
php artisan content:import-wordpress https://example.com --workspace=main --dry-run

# Incremental import (only content modified since date)
php artisan content:import-wordpress https://example.com --workspace=main --since=2024-01-01

# Authenticated import for drafts
php artisan content:import-wordpress https://example.com --workspace=main --username=admin --password=secret

# Limited import
php artisan content:import-wordpress https://example.com --workspace=main --limit=50

# Skip media downloads
php artisan content:import-wordpress https://example.com --workspace=main --skip-media
```

**Ready for verification:** Phase 4 acceptance criteria AC19-AC22 should be tested.

### Phase 4 Verification: 2026-01-02 by Claude Opus 4.5 (Verification Agent)

| Criterion | Status | Evidence |
|-----------|--------|----------|
| AC19: Artisan command `content:import-wordpress` imports from WP REST API | ✅ PASS | `ContentImportWordPress.php` is 925 lines implementing full WP REST API import. Signature at line 27-36 shows `content:import-wordpress {url}` with options. `validateWordPressSite()` at line 143 calls `/wp-json`, `importContentType()` at line 655 fetches from `/wp-json/wp/v2/{posts\|pages}`. Test: "validates WordPress site and shows site name" passes. |
| AC20: Import preserves original WordPress IDs in `wp_id` field | ✅ PASS | `importContentItem()` at line 758 sets `'wp_id' => $wpId` and `'wp_guid' => $item['guid']['rendered']`. Test: "preserves original WordPress IDs" at line 313 verifies `$post->wp_id->toBe(12345)` and `$post->wp_guid->toBe('https://example.com/?p=12345')`. |
| AC21: Import handles media, categories, tags, authors | ✅ PASS | `importAuthors()` line 231, `importCategories()` line 326, `importTags()` line 381, `importMedia()` line 480. Each has dedicated import method with progress bars. Tests verify all types: "imports WordPress users as authors", "imports WordPress categories", "imports WordPress tags", "imports WordPress media items" all pass. |
| AC22: Import is idempotent (re-running updates, doesn't duplicate) | ✅ PASS | Each import method checks for existing records first (e.g., `ContentItem::forWorkspace()->where('wp_id', $wpId)->first()` at line 729). If exists, updates instead of creates (line 791-793). Test: "idempotency → updates existing content instead of duplicating" verifies `ContentItem::count()->toBe(1)` after re-import and fields are updated. |

**Additional Verification:**
- Tests: `./vendor/bin/pest tests/Feature/Console/ContentImportWordPressTest.php` — 21 passed (90 assertions)
- Dry run mode: `--dry-run` flag prevents database changes (test at line 522)
- Incremental import: `--since` flag filters by modification date (test at line 569)
- Limit option: `--limit` flag caps items per type (test at line 647)
- SEO extraction: Yoast/RankMath metadata extracted (test at line 717)
- Scheduled posts: Future status and publish_at preserved (test at line 762)
- HTML entities: Smart quotes normalised to ASCII (test at line 348)

**Verdict:** ✅ PASS — Phase 4 acceptance criteria AC19-AC22 all met. TASK-004 is complete.

## Notes

### Why Keep WordPress Import

Even though we're removing WordPress as a dependency, keeping import capability:
1. Allows migration from other WordPress sites
2. Useful for clients moving from WP to Host Hub
3. Reference for future CMS integrations (Ghost, Strapi, etc.)

### MCP as the Future

The content MCP tools are strategic:
- Agents can create content without UI
- Enables automated content pipelines
- Positions Host UK as "AI-stabilised hosting" leader
- Content becomes programmable infrastructure

### Content Type Clarification

- `wordpress` — Legacy, synced from WordPress (to be migrated)
- `native` — Created in Host Hub (new default)
- `hostuk` — Alias for native (backwards compat)
- `satellite` — Per-service content (e.g., BioHost-specific help)

*This task transforms content from a synced dependency to owned infrastructure.*
