+
+# Database backup
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c mariadb -- \
+  mysqldump -u wordpress -p"mycelium-secure-password-2025" wordpress > wordpress-backup.sql
+```
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### Check Deployment Status
+```bash
+# Check pods status (should show 2/2 Ready)
+kubectl get pods -l app=wordpress
+
+# Check service details
+kubectl get svc wordpress-service
+
+# Check PersistentVolumeClaims
+kubectl get pvc wordpress-database-pvc wordpress-content-pvc
+
+# Check ConfigMaps
+kubectl get configmap wordpress-config wordpress-mariadb-config
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Pod Not Starting
+```bash
+# Check pod status and events
+kubectl describe pod -l app=wordpress
+
+# Check container logs
+kubectl logs -l app=wordpress
+kubectl logs -l app=wordpress -c wordpress
+kubectl logs -l app=wordpress -c mariadb --previous
+```
+
+#### Database Connection Issues
+```bash
+# Check MariaDB connectivity from WordPress container
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- \
+  mysqladmin ping -h localhost -u wordpress -p"mycelium-secure-password-2025"
+
+# Test database access
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c mariadb -- \
+  mysql -u root -p"mycelium-root-password-2025" -e "SHOW DATABASES;"
+```
+
+#### WordPress Installation Issues
+```bash
+# Check WordPress configuration
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- \
+  cat /var/www/html/wp-config.php
+
+# Check WordPress directory permissions
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- \
+  ls -la /var/www/html/
+
+# Test WordPress initialization
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- \
+  /init-wordpress.sh
+```
+
+#### Persistent Volume Issues
+```bash
+# Check PVC status
+kubectl describe pvc wordpress-database-pvc
+kubectl describe pvc wordpress-content-pvc
+
+# Check volume mount in containers
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c mariadb -- \
+  ls -la /var/lib/mysql/
+
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- \
+  ls -la /var/www/html/
+```
+
+#### Port Conflicts
+```bash
+# Check if port 8080 is in use
+lsof -i :8080
+
+# Check port 80 conflicts
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- \
+  netstat -tlnp | grep :80
+```
+
+## 🛠️ Common Operations
+
+### Scaling (Note: WordPress scaling is complex)
+```bash
+# Note: WordPress is typically single-instance due to file-based sessions
+# For horizontal scaling, you'd need shared storage and session management
+kubectl scale deployment wordpress --replicas=1
+
+# Check distribution
+kubectl get pods -o wide
+```
+
+### Updates
+```bash
+# Update WordPress image
+kubectl set image deployment/wordpress wordpress=wordpress:6.5-php8.2-apache
+
+# Update MariaDB image
+kubectl set image deployment/wordpress mariadb=mariadb:11.0
+
+# Restart deployment
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/wordpress
+
+# Check rollout status
+kubectl rollout status deployment/wordpress
+```
+
+### Data Management
+```bash
+# Access WordPress database
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c mariadb -- mysql -u wordpress -p"mycelium-secure-password-2025" wordpress
+
+# Common database operations inside pod:
+# SHOW TABLES;
+# DESCRIBE wp_posts;
+# SELECT * FROM wp_options;
+# FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+```
+
+### Monitoring
+```bash
+# View logs from both containers
+kubectl logs -f deployment/wordpress
+kubectl logs -f deployment/wordpress -c wordpress
+kubectl logs -f deployment/wordpress -c mariadb
+
+# Monitor resource usage
+kubectl top pod -l app=wordpress
+
+# Check database status
+kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c mariadb -- \
+  mysqladmin -u root -p"mycelium-root-password-2025" status
+```
+
+## 🧹 Cleanup
+
+When you're done testing:
+
+```bash
+# Delete the application and service
+kubectl delete -f wordpress-deployment.yaml -f wordpress-service.yaml -f wordpress-configmap.yaml
+
+# Wait for cleanup
+kubectl wait --for=delete pod -l app=wordpress --timeout=60s
+
+# Kill any port-forwards
+lsof -ti:8080 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null || true
+
+# Verify cleanup
+kubectl get all -l app=wordpress
+kubectl get pvc wordpress-database-pvc wordpress-content-pvc 2>/dev/null || echo "PVCs deleted"
+kubectl get configmap wordpress-config wordpress-mariadb-config 2>/dev/null || echo "ConfigMaps deleted"
+```
