Three documented parameters accept a value and drop it: - `user create --user_nicename` and `--rich_editing`. User_Command::create() builds an explicit stdClass for wp_insert_user() and never sets either property, so both are read off $assoc_args nowhere. - `post create` / `post update --post_modified` and `--post_modified_gmt`. wp_insert_post() computes both itself and never reads them from $postarr; on update they are unconditionally current_time( 'mysql' ). All three report success. These are the same silent no-op as wp-cli/wp-cli#5286, reached from the other side: there the parameter name is wrong, here the name is right and the value is discarded anyway. These scenarios fail on main. The fix follows in the next commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014SSZzqMJRDTiLiDxQEPYcL
Makes the tests from the previous commit pass. user create: set user_nicename and rich_editing on the object handed to wp_insert_user(). Both use the same `false` default as the neighbouring properties, which core reads as "not supplied" - user_nicename then falls back to the login and rich_editing to 'true'. post create / post update: wp_insert_post() derives post_modified and post_modified_gmt itself and never reads them back from $postarr, so apply the requested value through the wp_insert_post_data filter, registered around the insert and removed straight after. When only one of the pair is given the other is derived from it, so the two never disagree. That last change makes a previously harmless bug visible: `post create --from-post` copies the source post's fields, and post_modified was not among the ones it unset. Core ignored it before, so the duplicate got the current time; now it would inherit the original's. Unset it alongside post_date, and cover it with a scenario. The alternative to all of this is to remove the parameters from the docblocks instead. That is a smaller change but loses functionality the documentation has been promising, so it seemed the wrong way round - happy to invert it.

The pair was collected into an array with both keys optional, so nothing told PHPStan that reaching the consistency check meant at least one of them was present, and the values stayed mixed all the way into get_gmt_from_date() and get_date_from_gmt(). Two scalars say the same thing in a way the analyser can follow, and the array is built once both are known. is_scalar() guards the cast: a value that is not scalar could not be a date anyway, and casting one to string is what the strict rule is there to prevent. No behaviour change - `! empty()` still decides whether each was given, and the pair is still completed from whichever half arrived.

Sorry, something went wrong.
Three gaps, all raised on the pull request. Only '--post_modified' was ever passed, so the branch that fills in the local time from a GMT one was never run. It has a scenario now, and to make the derivation visible rather than incidental the site is put in a timezone with an offset: noon GMT is 07:00 in New York in January and 08:00 in June, and both are asserted, on create and on update. The scenario for the default modification date asserted only that the field was not empty, which a stale value satisfies just as well as a fresh one. It now sets a known date first and asserts the update does not leave it behind. Neither of the user scenarios ran on multisite, where the user is made by wpmu_create_user() with a login, a password and an email, and everything else is applied afterwards by wp_update_user(). That is a different path to wp_insert_user() and it is covered now. Both new scenarios fail against main, where the nicename comes back as the login instead. The multisite login is 'robert' rather than 'bob' because multisite requires four characters, which is a good illustration of why the branch was worth testing separately.

Draft. These are the two pre-existing bugs noticed while auditing field lists for wp-cli/wp-cli#5286, now with tests. Independent of #636 and #6392 — branched off

post.featurepost-create-duplicate.featureuser.featureThe one
user.featurefailure is pre-existing and unrelated. It is the multisite duplicate-email scenario, which expectsSorry, that email address is already used!while current core trunk returnsThis email address is already registered. Log in with this address or choose another one.Confirmed by re-running that scenario withsrc/checked out atorigin/main, where it fails identically. My diff does not touch it.Tested against WordPress trunk (
7.2-alpha), which is what this environment could obtain — worth noting since that is also the source of the message change above.One regression this surfaced
Making
post_modifiedlive exposed a latent bug inpost create --from-post. It copies the source post's fields and unsetspost_date,post_date_gmt,guidandID— but notpost_modified. Harmless while core ignored it; with this change the duplicate would inherit the original's modification date instead of the current time. Fixed by unsetting it alongsidepost_date, with a scenario inpost-create-duplicate.feature.The design question
For
post_modifiedthe alternative is to remove the parameters from the docblocks rather than make them work. Smaller change, but it drops functionality the documentation has been advertising since it was added, and "set the modification date" is a reasonable thing to want from an admin tool. I went with making them work; inverting it is a small diff if you'd rather.There is no such question for
user create— those two are unambiguous.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
