wordpress - How to rewrite this Ansible playbook with a loop?

Question

I make a playbook in order to make alls updates available on my Wordpress serveurs.

It works but, I want to rewrite it with a loop to respect "Don't Repeat Yourself"

It is not a playbook. Just some tasks in roles > Intranet > tasks > main.yaml

# Main tasks for wordpress serveurs

# Updates
- name: Update WP command line tool
  command: wp cli update
  register: wpcli_result

- name: Update Wordpress Core
  command: wp core update --allow-root --path=/var/www/html
  register: update_core

- name: Update Wordpress Core Data Base
  command: wp core update-db --allow-root --path=/var/www/html
  register: update_core_db

- name: Update Plugins
  command: wp plugin update --all --allow-root --path=/var/www/html
  register: update_plugins

- name: Update Themes
  command: wp theme update --all --allow-root --path=/var/www/html
  register: update_themes
...

# Debug
- name: Debug wp cli update
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: wpcli_result.stdout

Answer 1

It is a little noisy when you look at the stdout during playbook execution but the job is done :

Edit: items.name are not necessary but I let them for better reading.

  command: "{{ item.command }}"
  register: var_cmd
  with_items:
