What Scratch edits in WordPress
- Post and page bodies (block content preserved as raw)
- Titles, slugs, excerpts, and publication status
- Custom post types and taxonomies (auto-discovered)
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), exposed as top-level columns
- Image alt text across the media library
- Categories and tags
How it works
Scratch pulls posts, pages, and any custom post types into local files. Your AI agent edits them. Validators check length, required fields, and any rule you set. You review the changes in Scratch and approve the ones that look right. Scratch writes back over the REST API.
Templates and template parts (wp_template, wp_template_part) are excluded from edits, and post meta is hidden in the default view to keep accidental writes out of plugin-owned SEO fields. Decorative images stay decorative. The mass changes happen, but only after you say yes.
