@_Roy_ Just a quick tip: if mod_security will be enabled and you run into troubles, most of the time the only option is to disable mod_security.

It is not going to be one of the big US-based hosting-companies. I'm European, so a EU-based host has my preference as the lower geographical distance will be good for the speeds. The one I am looking at as the most probable choise is a rather small one that I have previous experience with. The benefit of that one is that I can just send them a message if I need anything, and their responses are always fast and really answer the question. That is something I miss with large companies: direct contact with a person who has the knowledge.

No probs. Just out of curiosity, who are you hosting with as I recall some hosts have weird setups. I recall GoDaddy in particular caused me issues before. Nothing some htaccess wrangling didn’t fix but a head scratcher at the beginning.

@Peter Knight I will report back, the hosting has to be registered, I think somewhere next week.

@_Roy_ how did it go?

Possibly it can or could. It could simply be bad prompts which led to non optimal solutions. I’ll ask it later 🤖

For a "brand new" host (one I've never used before), I always start with a clean installation of ProcessWire because the installer runs its requirements checks during installation. After successfully installing ProcessWire, I replace all files and the database, adjust the config settings, and then it's ready to go.

I'm flushing, haha. Tell Cursor that I'm impressed with their clear answer. The approach makes sense, having structured data going in and out through the CLI. What I don't quite get yet is why the local setup can't just use same approach over HTTP as the remote one. If Cursor could shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated.

I every time use Duplicator module for transferring website from server to server. Great solution!

On a side note, because of the ProcessWire 'way' of handling images to think about the purpose of the images your page will have. As teppo flagged. So I usually have 1 x carousel images or a hero image field 1 x general images field i might display in the content 1 x something else The reason for doing this is that you can keep all your images and image field settings appropriate for the image purpose etc. Especially if you have clients adding or removing images. I find having just one image field can be an issue if they accidentally remove something or add an image which should not be part of the hero banner etc. Later on you might want to also look at tagging images and calling them onto your front-end pages https://processwire.com/modules/textformatter-image-tags/ But I'd recommend getting used to the basics first. An example of how I use image tagging might be. I have a product field with a lot of general images one of them in particular is used as a preview thumb on a product overview page so i'll tag that image 'preview' or whatever you want really. Lets us know how it goes

Yes, it is a completely new hosting-package. The error-reporting is a good idea!

I usually do this and it simplifies things if your local and remote credentials are the same. 1. Turn on errors on your config file to make trouble shooting easier 2. Zip up all your local files and ensure to get your htaccess too 3. Export the local database and import it into the remote plesk server or whatever you’re using 4. Set up remote database credentials 5. unzip remote files From that point onwards, I might have some htaccess issues or I might need to look at site logs etc but most of the time it goes smoothly enough. You’re installing onto a blank site right? If there is an existing site in the webspace which you didn’t create, ensure to rename the index.html page

I left out that I meant this option to be an individual field level setting, not a global one. There are always pros and cons, but this solution also ensures that the default UX/UI of the admin is not changed too much, and if users use both interfaces (standard PW and MediaHub), then less deviation from what they are used to will generate less confusion.

Thanks. Yep, I'm leaning that way too. Also, making the user load all the images even with pagination, lazy loading and caching etc isn't ideal.

I prefer this one, along with the option to configure which source is shown by default (preferably the first tab is always the default, if possible). A cleaner, more organized interface is better. If image sources are merged, even when page-context images are listed first, how can I tell the actual source? In some cases that does matter. Avoiding confusion up front is the better solution, in my opinion.

I am about to put my first ProcessWire-powered website onto a live server, and I was searching the website and forum on how to do this. Maybe I used the wrong search-terms, but I did not find anything on how this should be done. I can obviously just throw all the files on the server through FTP, and put the database in place using PhpMyAdmin. Then change the DB-credentials in config.php and I think it should work, but I don't know what the recommended way is to push a website from your local/dev-environment to a live webserver.

Hey a UI/UX question if anyone wants to chip in. Does this make sense? Rich Text Editors (normal flow) You click the Add Image button in TinyMCE, and the Select image window opens. You see a list of images associated with that page (only). Rich Text Editors (with MediaHub) With MediaHub, I'm no longer restricted to showing only the images attached to a page's fields. But that raises a UX question: clients are used to seeing just a handful of images tied to the page they're editing. Presenting hundreds of Library assets upfront and asking them to sort and filter isn't an improvement...if it's a sorting and filtering burden. The better approach is two tabs? On this page for the assets already attached to the current page, and MediaHub (or Library) for the full collection? Or should I only display the entire library with the users' page images positioned at the top for convenience? Cheers P

@ai_slop Thanks for sharing your experience! Is it what I made this screenshot of? See: I only had the "Upgrade Plan" button, as you can see. Since I have already deleted the account, I have no way to take any further action, except to write to their support.

Just finding this module now, and I am loving it! First of, belated congratulations are in order, and thanks a lot for making this module available @digitalbricks !

From Cursor below. You'll be please to note it's impressed with your question 🙂 Good question! It's entirely home-baked. The CLI is a custom PHP script (PwMcp/bin/pw-mcp.php) that bootstraps ProcessWire directly, and routes commands through a CommandRouter class (PwMcp/src/Cli/CommandRouter.php). It's purpose-built for the MCP workflow - the Node.js MCP server shells out to PHP, passes structured arguments, and gets JSON back. It doesn't use WireCLI, ProcessWire Console, or RockShell. Those are general-purpose CLI tools for ProcessWire. The PW-MCP CLI is narrowly focused on the specific commands the AI agent needs: reading pages, querying selectors, listing templates/fields, exporting schema, and syncing content. It speaks JSON natively (no human-friendly formatting to parse) and is designed to be called programmatically by the MCP server rather than by a human in a terminal. The architecture is: Cursor Chat → MCP Server (Node.js/TypeScript) → CLI (PHP) → ProcessWire API For remote sites, the CLI layer is bypassed entirely - the Node.js server makes HTTP POST requests to pw-mcp-api.php, which bootstraps ProcessWire and runs the same CommandRouter directly: Cursor Chat → MCP Server (Node.js) → HTTP POST → pw-mcp-api.php → ProcessWire API So the CLI is really just the local transport mechanism. The actual logic lives in the CommandRouter and related PHP classes, which are shared between both the local CLI and remote HTTP paths.

Hi @Stefanowitsch, thanks for the heads-up! Pushed a fix to Github to handle wrong values for model or API key a bit more gracefully 😅

Oh and I had an n8n automation set up recently. You can run n8n for free locally so I did a little experiment… local n8n workflow is scheduled to run every X minutes contacts my live site creates an unpublished post in a predetermined location sends me a slack notification confirming page created That’s the real reason that the Module exists. So if you want to, you can create content at scale automatically. Nothing to stop you integrating keyword and competitor research into the mix and experimenting with programmatic SEO (pSEO). Maybe I should add that to the AI thread?

@szabesz I forgot to cancel my trial yesterday lol. But so far it's been working well for me albeit slower than what I'm used to with claude. That being said, I'm on the cheapest plan. For me at least there's a cancel button under settings > subscription > cancel plan... Here's hoping it works next month if I change my mind

@Peter Knight Thank you for taking your time to give me the intel. This answers all my questions. The local CLI caught my eye. Which one are you using, is it home baked or https://github.com/wirecli/wire-cli or https://github.com/trk/processwire-console or https://github.com/baumrock/RockShell ? As for migrations, I'd say Rockmigrations is pretty much feature complete and stable. It only lacks support for some of the Pro fields. But that seems to be the case for other migration tools as well. It does support Repeater Matrix though. Looking forward to seeing your MCP repo once it's up.

Latest updates. I had somewhat foolishly left development of the RTE integration until late in the day. But this week I am almost done with TinyMCE integration and a custom button on the toolbar. Initially I had planned on this flow user clicks the RTE media hub icon (insert image) A popup appears which displays images from the other fields on that page im so conditioned to this pattern that I overlooked something obvious. Why display just the images on a page when Media Hub can display all images in your hub? 🧐 Somehwhat unnecessarily, we’re asking clients to add an image to a field(s) Select insert image select image from step 1 again I’ll add a screenshot of the solution tomorrow. Would appreciate a second pair of eyeballs on this if anyone has time. P
