150+ AI Prompts for WordPress Devs [Get the Free PDF]

There's no shortage of AI prompt lists claiming to supercharge your WordPress workflow. The internet is full of AI prompt ideas, from the official WordPress Core Development Repository and Gutenberg's block editor project to community-driven resources like Senlin's Code Snippets. But that also means it's easy to fall into the "shiny toy" trap: chasing the latest AI prompt generators, threads, and hacks without getting anything done.

This is why we at WP Umbrella created a prompt library that houses nearly 200 AI prompts for WordPress developers and freelancers. Everything is cleanly organized by use case, whether you're debugging code, customizing WooCommerce, developing plugins, or troubleshooting tricky client issues.

Just download it, plug it into your workflow, and build smarter.

3 Tips on Writing The Best AI Prompts

Before diving into the prompts, here's a quick peek at how we wrote them - and how you can tweak them to fit your workflows. Here's what matters when writing prompts that work:

1. Know Your AI Tool Options

Every AI tool responds a little differently because they're built differently, and they access different data. Before you pick one, it's worth exploring your options: ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, and others.

For this prompt library, we used ChatGPT. But you can easily try the same prompts with models like Llama 3, Gemini 1.5 Flash, or even open-source LLMs like Bloom or Falcon. Sometimes, mixing tools might get you closer to the output you want.

2. Be Specific with Details

WordPress developers know that the more detailed your instructions, the better the output. Instead of asking for "a custom post type plugin," our prompt spells everything out:

It even includes best practices like hook usage and flushing rewrite rules only on activation.

By providing this level of detail about your requirements, file naming conventions, and even requesting inline documentation, you give AI tools everything they need to generate production-ready code that meets professional WordPress development standards.

3. Be Clear

If your prompt is vague, your output will be too. Here's one of the prompts from the library.

The prompt identifies the WordPress admin login issue without unnecessary elaboration. It also explicitly asks for potential causes and debugging approaches, giving the AI clear direction.

This clarity ensures the AI can provide targeted, actionable advice rather than generic troubleshooting steps. For WordPress professionals, this kind of precise communication with AI tools can speed up problem resolution and reduce development bottlenecks.
