Anyone successfully use Openclaw to build a wordpress site?
✅Solved
Hey everyone!
So I'm building a site on Wordpress, it's all installed, with a theme, and some sample posts, and whatnot. Then Iinstalled Openclaw on an ubuntu server, in my house, on an old iMac with 1tb ssd and 32gb ram. I told it to setup a memory.md file and save everything related to the project, instructions, templates, credentials, brainstorming sessions, everything. I gave it instructions, and it was going great - for about 3 minutes which is how long it took to create the categories I gave it to create. Then I told it to research and create some sample review posts based on certain criteria - and it said "no problem."
4 hours later I asked how it was doing. It said, just waiting on you to tell me how I can help.
WHAT!? It had accomplished nothing even though I explicitly told it to "proceed". It finally completes a sample post for me - not bad. I tell it to create 5 more for each category. It says "no problem." How long will it take - 5-8 hours it tells me. I go to bed.
I check on it in the AM. Nothing has been done. It has no memory of anything. It says there are no memory files in it's workspace. I cut and paste the conversation from the day before and spins into a long explanation that really is just gibberish.
I give a single task, to create a sinlge post, and it says "no problem." LOL - I've heard that before!
30 minutes later I ask for an update...it says "I'm waiting on you to allow me to do this."
Now I tell it explicityly how I want it to behave - don't wait for me, save everything in memory for now, when I say jump don't ask "how high" just jump. We agree, and proceed. Now it tells me it can't configure plugins without Wordpress dashboard admin credentials - I give them. I ask for an update. It cant' use the credentials because it can't access the dashboard (chromme relay doesn't work at all - it's the attachment thing is broke).
It tellms me it can configure plugins via ssh. You can only imagine how that's going!
And round and around.
Thoughts?

If you tell me whether you’re on desktop or mobile, and whether you see an Apps submenu at all, I can narrow it down.
