#wordpress-datascrip

A Wordpress plugin that allows developers to create a JSON data script to transfer configuration data (page, category, menu structure, settings) from dev to staging, production environment

Usage

Just download and install it as normal Wordpress plugin. Then, go to Wordpress admin, click to WP Datascript menu item. You will see an editor for inputting the JSON script + 1 button to execute the script.

##JSON datascript

Here is the structure of the JSON datascript.

[
    {
       "cmd": command_name,
       "data": {
           data_input_for_the_command
       }
    }
]

Depends on command, input data is different.

Below is the list of commands that I am supporting currently.

{
   "cmd": "add-page",

       "status" : "status-of-WP-post ['draft'|'publish'|'pending'| 'future' | 'private' | custom registered status ]",
       "template": "page-template",
