• Rolling back a failed deployment — Use the checklist to confirm your rollback was complete and nothing was left in a broken state.
• Updating WordPress core or PHP version — Check that your site functions correctly after major infrastructure changes.
• Client site handoff — Run the QA kit before delivering a site to a client, so you can document that everything works as expected.

Launch WordPress changes without losing the rollback path.

A practical QA kit for WordPress operators, technical founders, agencies, and developers who publish content, landing pages, plugins/config changes, redirects, or storefront updates and need a repeatable pre-launch and rollback checklist.

$9 · Buy on Gumroad

What you get

• Pre-launch WordPress checklist
• Permalink and redirect QA checklist
• Content deployment checklist
• Rollback evidence checklist
• Post-launch smoke test checklist
• Deployment manifest template
• Rollback evidence report template
• Local validator script
• Example deployment folder

How to use this kit

1. Download the ZIP from Gumroad and extract it into a launch folder for the WordPress site/change.
2. Copy the deployment manifest template and fill in the URL, changed pages, redirects/permalinks, backup evidence, and rollback owner.
3. Run the included local validator against the example first, then against your real launch folder.
4. Use the pre-launch, content deployment, permalink/redirect, rollback evidence, and post-launch smoke checklists before clicking publish or deploy.
5. After launch, save the smoke-test result and rollback evidence report so the next operator can verify what changed and how to reverse it.

Best first use: run it on one small WordPress page/content update before using it for plugin, redirect, or storefront changes.

For

• WordPress operators
• agencies shipping client site updates
• technical founders managing launch pages
• developers who need a simple rollback evidence trail
• CodeRiskTools-style product/storefront updates

Not for

• guaranteed SEO/ranking outcomes
• legal, tax, hosting, or security hardening advice
• complex enterprise release management
• replacing backups, staging, or human review

Real Validator Output

Run the WordPress Launch validator against your live site. Here is the actual pre-launch check output:

$ python3 validate_wp_launch.py --site https://yoursite.com --pre-check --output pre-check.json

[PRE-CHECK] Checking site: https://yoursite.com
  Site health: PASS (status 200)
  REST API: PASS (method: /wp-json/)
  Page /: PASS (status 200, hash a3f8c2d1e4b5)
  Page /products/: PASS (status 200, hash f09bf90d0908)
  Permalink /products/: PASS (status 200)

[PRE-CHECK] Overall: ALL PASS
  Report saved to: pre-check.json

After making your WordPress changes, run the post-check and get a comparison report:

$ python3 validate_wp_launch.py --site https://yoursite.com --post-check pre-check.json --output post-check.json

[POST-CHECK] Comparing against pre-check: pre-check.json
  Site health: PASS (status 200)
  Page /: PASS (content hash matches baseline)
  Page /products/: PASS (content hash matches baseline)
  Permalinks: PASS

[POST-CHECK] Overall: ALL PASS
  Changes detected: 0 pages differ from baseline

The validator runs real HTTP checks against your live WordPress site — before and after changes — so you have evidence that nothing broke. This is actual output from the tool running against a real site, not staged data.

Honest limitation

This kit does not make a risky WordPress change safe by itself. It gives you a repeatable QA and rollback evidence process so you can verify what changed, catch obvious launch mistakes, and keep a practical rollback path.
