cd is not a regular command but a shell builtin so you have to use 
 sudo sh -c cd /var/lib/mysql/wordpress
But as the current working directory is just a state of a process cd
only affects the shell it is called from. Here this shell is just
exiting after executing cd so the whole thing is pretty useless.
