The Problem

Your custom logic lives in the wrong place.

You need a quick database cleanup. A custom report. A one-click deploy to staging. So you open functions.php, paste some raw PHP, cross your fingers, and refresh. Sound familiar?

Without Custom Commands

Open functions.php via FTP or file manager

Write raw PHP with no syntax highlighting or help

Save and pray you didn't break the site

No undo. No revision history. No rollback

No UI to trigger it. Hook into a page load or nothing

Clean up after yourself. Remove the code when done

High risk 30+ min per snippet No versioning

With Custom Commands

Write PHP and JS in a proper dual-pane editor

Or describe what you need and let AI write the code

Full revision history with diff viewer and one-click revert

Run it from the Navigator, or add it to a macro or schedule

Your code, managed properlyCreate, test, version, and trigger. All inside WordPress.

Safe 5 min to build Full history

AI-powered

Describe it. AI builds it.

Describe what you want in plain English. AI generates both the PHP handler and JS response. Review, tweak, save.

Describe the command behavior in natural language
AI generates both PHP and JavaScript code automatically
Set name, description, aliases, icon, and parameters upfront
Review and edit the generated code before saving
Works for simple tasks and complex WordPress integrations

Generate Command With AI

Inside the Navigator

Run it from the command palette.

Every custom command appears in the Navigator instantly. Type a few letters, hit Enter, see formatted results. No second-class citizens.

Commands appear in Navigator search instantly after saving
Fuzzy search matches command name, aliases, and description
Results display as formatted cards using your response helpers
Pass parameters inline or through prompted input fields

Built-in code editor

PHP and JS, side by side.

Every command has two parts: PHP handler (server) and JS response (what the user sees). Write both in a split-pane editor with syntax highlighting and snippets.

Dual-pane layout: PHP handler and JS response side by side
Six themes, zen mode, minimap, built-in snippet templates
Response helpers: card(), badge(), kv(), chip() for formatted output

The Risk

The hidden cost of unmanaged snippets.

Every snippet in functions.php is a risk. No versioning, no rollback, no way to find it six months later.

To break a live site

functions.php has no undo, no diff, no rollback

Scattered across installs

functions.php, mu-plugins, throwaway plugins

Of edits are unversioned

functions.php tracks nothing. Every change is permanent.

$59/yr

One prevented outage pays for itself. And custom commands are just one of ten modules. See pricing

Version control

Every save, recorded.

Broke something? Undo it. Every time you save a custom command, a full revision is created automatically. Browse the history, compare side-by-side diffs, and revert to any previous version with one click. No git needed.

Automatic revision on every save. No manual commits
Side-by-side or inline diff viewer for PHP and JS
One-click revert to any previous revision
Navigate between changes with keyboard shortcuts
Full audit trail of who changed what and when

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

Can custom commands break my site?

Commands run in a sandboxed context. PHP syntax is validated before saving. Every edit creates a revision you can revert to. And you can disable any command instantly with a toggle.

How is this different from snippet plugins?

Snippet plugins run PHP on page load. Custom Commands are on-demand, triggered from the Navigator, a macro, a schedule, or a shortcut. Plus you get AI generation, a dual-pane editor, revision history, and parameters.

Can I share commands between WordPress sites?

Yes. Commands export as JSON files with all code, parameters, aliases, and settings. Import on any site running TrueCommander. Build once, deploy everywhere.

Can other users run my custom commands?

Yes. Any user with access to the Navigator can run enabled commands. TrueCommander's access control module lets you restrict which roles see the Navigator and which commands are available.

Write it, version it, trigger it from anywhere. Your custom logic finally has a proper home.
