WP-CLI - A command line interface for WordPress

mrreboot · January 2, 2014

WP-CLI is a set of command-line tools for managing WordPress installations. You can update plugins, set up multisite installs and much more, without using a web browser.

Requirements

UNIX-like environment (OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Cygwin)

PHP 5.3.2 or later

WordPress 3.4 or later

First, download wp-cli.phar using wget or curl:

wget https://raw.github.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar

Then, check if it works:

php wp-cli.phar --info

To be able to type just wp, instead of php wp-cli.phar, you need to make the file executable and move it to somewhere in your PATH. For example:

chmod +x wp-cli.phar
mv wp-cli.phar /usr/bin/wp

Now try running wp --info.

MAMP

If you’re using MAMP, you will probably get a MySQL error, because the php found in your PATH is not the same as the PHP used by MAMP. Here is one way to fix it.

Also see Alternative Install Methods.

Tab completions

WP-CLI also comes with a tab completion script for Bash. Just download wp-completion.bash and load it from ~/.bash_profile:

source /FULL/PATH/TO/wp-completion.bash

(Don’t forget to run source ~/.bash_profile afterwards)

Using

Go into a WordPress root folder:

cd /var/www/wp/

Typing wp should show you output similar to this:

Available commands:
    wp blog create|delete
    wp cache add|decr|delete|flush|get|incr|replace|set|type
    wp comment create|delete|trash|untrash|spam|unspam|approve|unapprove|count|status|last
    wp core download|config|is-installed|install|install-network|version|update|update-db
    wp db create|drop|reset|optimize|repair|connect|cli|query|export|import
    wp eval-file
    ...

See 'wp help <command>' for more information on a specific command.
