WordPress CLI Introduction

[@WPCasts]

Thanks for watching! Would you be interested in more WP-CLI content?

[@joietan7983]

wow this is powerful, can this be used to activate and deactivate plugin at scheduled times ? for example updraft / wpallimport plugin only activated just when they are needed.

[@BuntyWP]

Yes Yes Yes... I would like to have more on CLI. I also did some videos for CLI ☺. It would be great if you can check out my playlist.

[@mpgilbertusa]

Yes, please. You’ve got my attention to learn more.

[@n4870s]

@WPCasts do you know if it is possible to export a sample page/post containing lots of acf fields/flex content to a file and import it in all subsites of a multisite network with WpCLI?

[@cholinkol]

Yes !

[@andersa9655]

I'd be very interested in more WP-CLI stuff

[@BuntyWP]

WP-CLI is one of my fav. I also made some videos. You can checkout my playlist for that.

[@vanessasnipe811]

SAME!

[@christopherjschultz]

This is great. I would definitely be keen for more videos on WP CLI. Cheers!

[@LongPeter]

Some more background info for command line novices would be great. Are you using SSH and installing WP CLI onto a remote server? Or installing it onto your local machine in something like Terminal then connecting to a remote server?

[@VitoMariaCusumano]

Great idea, wp cli is an essential node in learning wordpress.

[@tarasdashkevych]

I would be interested to see more videos on this topic 👍

[@PhiluxPhoto]

This CLI seems super powerful. Thanks. I could use a super beginner introduction, "Hello World". I don't even understand where to install CLI, is it WP plugin ? Does it go on the hosting server ? What's the syntax ? What is curl ? Where do I open that CLI ? What are the prerequisites. Thanks !

[@jasonetaylor]

Would love to see another video of more on wp-cli

[@craftcards_nl]

I would love to see more about this topic

[@BuntyWP]

I've been always fan of WP-CLI.

[@ashleyredman]

More content on the cli would be sweet, I’ve recently switched to spinupWP for hosting and use the cli to auto activate wp maintenance mode when a git deploy is taking place, good stuff!

[@natally3902]

how can i manage existing wordpress through wp-cli? None of google resources say about that. Just about starting from scratch :)

[@opinionatedako]

how did you connect that to your live site??

[@actualidadgratis5245]

Awesome video! thank you for share your knowledge

[@MrDefix]

Cool, keep going with wp cli! Also backup/restore or maybe automated backup with server cron job will be nice..

[@dsimmons679]

Totally dug this! More Please! (I don't know what I don't know!)

[@WPCasts]

You got it!

[@afflictionmarketing5303]

Sure, but even after this watching. I don't have any idea how to connect with my hostgator account??? Can you please help me.

[@josuebarros-desenvolvedorw2490]

Its sooooo amazing!!! Please keep it up with Bedrock/Sage content too please

[@zkhan1995]

which OS do you use?

[@WPCasts]

I'm on OSX

[@benonhisway]

for an absolute noob - what is sudo and how do I find that password?

[@johannes-euquerofalaralema4374]

awesome! More, please ;)

[@deividaskrupstas]

Yes please more! How to transfer database with CLI or the entire site.

[@mjscpr]

Did you find a solution to this? I would wp db export, copy files via rsync and then wp db import, then wp search-replace the database to change URLs. That does work, but maybe there's a better way. I use wordmove for this purpose, instead of WP CLI.

[@osherezra8460]

Hey Alex great one again defiantly looking forward for more wp-cli. just one question how did you open a terminal connected to site ground without SSH? plus do I need to install wp-cli on Siteground its not that clear from the video. cheers in advance

[@WPCasts]

The WP-CLI is pre-installed on Siteground. And here is an article on getting SSH access to your server: www.siteground.com/kb/how_to_log_in_to_my_shared_account_via_ssh_in_linux/

[@osherezra8460]

@@WPCasts Thanks Alex sorry fpr the late reply cheers I'l check it out :)

[@DavidElstob73]

Does this need a VPS as a minimum?

[@joshuaberrios]

What IDE tool are you using in this video to execute WP CLI? Is it Visual Studio Code?

[@tiaan_va]

He is clearly using terminal on his Mac

[@joshuaberrios]

@@tiaan_va thanks for commenting. I cannot believe its been a year since this comment. I figured it out already during that time after I commented.

[@oddocid9734]

Awesomeee!

[@KICKASS4272]

Please do cover more

[@fvgoya]

Like before watch.

[@markanderson77]

LOL. I can't even figure out how to curl a file!

[@rangabharath4253]

Awesome 👍😀

[@roshananwar3599]

when i try to move "sudo mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp" got error "-bash: sudo: command not found ". am using ssh using putty. and some thing is different from you, am using sitground shared hosting .

[@hisnameisrick]

3:09 - nobody should be SSH'ing straight into a running container. Those are ephemeral. Asid from that, this is a great video.

[@tagfat]

Woohooo! Global spelling-correction is now a thing!

[@malatini_ytb]

I’m sorry it does not work.

[@Uncaught_in_promise]

It would be great give some clues for Windows users. Not everyone in the world uses mac

[@IanMarkind]

Try using Git Bash on Windows and then you can follow along

[@TheMarouuu]

They will be soon enough. You should get onboard :)

[@LaurenceBahiirwa]

Thanks for the vid. Did you add the CLI to a local computer or to server? How do you connect local to online? Would this be suitable for shared hosting?

[@JonathanLoganClark]

For any devs working with "Local" from localwp.com you will need to right-click on the site name and select "Open Site Shell" in order to run certain commands like "wp plugin". Before using the "Open Site Shell" option I received an error saying "Error establishing a database connection". I hope this helps some of you.

[@jasonetaylor]

Thank you for this!

[@JonathanLoganClark]

@@jasonetaylor you’re welcome! I was scratching my head for a while before I figured it out.

[@rawahapool]

thanks

[@hcjorgensen]

A suggestion for good use of wp-cli - generating fake content in a dev environment. I use this wp-cli extension: github.com/nlemoine/wp-cli-fixtures

[@opinionatedako]

This tutorial IS NOT COMPLETE... you didn't teach what you used to open that terminal... You did teach us to use Putty to open SSH
