A new release of WP-CLIWP-CLI WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way. The project page is http://wp-cli.org/ https://make.wordpress.org/cli/, WP-CLI v2.11.0, is now available. For this release, we had 61 contributors collaborate to get 274 pull requests merged. 

As always, big thanks to the WP-CLI sponsors that make the continued maintenance possible.

This is a small release that fixes a lot of small and not so small bugs, but we also have a couple of new features that I’ll want to highlight. As always, you can also skip directly to the detailed changelog if you prefer.

If you already use WP-CLI, updating is as simple as wp cli update. Else, check out our website for recommended installation methods.

Thank you for providing the additional details on the pull requests. I’ll go through each one and provide improved highlights with examples and usage details:

Improved CSV Handling

The CSV reading functionality has been enhanced to properly handle multi-line values. This fix ensures that complex CSV data can be processed correctly, improving the reliability of commands that work with CSV input.

Example of a CSV file that can now be correctly processed:

id,name,description
1,"Product A","This is a
multi-line
description"
2,"Product B","Another description"

New Signup Management Commands

New commands have been added for managing signups on multisiteMultisite Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create a network of sites on a single WordPress installation. Available since WordPress version 3.0, Multisite is a continuation of WPMU or WordPress Multiuser project. WordPress MultiUser project was discontinued and its features were included into WordPress core.https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network. installations:

• wp user signup list: List signups
• wp user signup get: Get details about a signup
• wp user signup activate: Activate one or more signups
• wp user signup delete: Delete one or more signups

Example usage:

# List all signups
$ wp user signup list

# Activate a signup
$ wp user signup activate johndoe@example.com

# Delete a signup
$ wp user signup delete 123

New Site Generator Command

A new wp site generate command has been added to create multiple sites programmatically in a multisite installation. This is useful for testing or development purposes.

Example usage:

# Generate 10 new sites
$ wp site generate --count=10

# Generate sites with a specific slug
$ wp site generate --count=2 --slug=testsite

GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ Release Installation Support

The extension command now supports installing plugins and themes directly from GitHub releases. This feature allows users to easily install and manage extensions hosted on GitHub without manual downloads.

Example usage:

# Install a plugin from its latest GitHub release
$ wp plugin install https://github.com/username/plugin-name/releases/latest

# Install a specific version of a theme from GitHub
$ wp theme install https://github.com/username/theme-name/releases/tag/v1.2.3

Improved PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party Management

A new --recently-active option has been added to the plugin list command, allowing users to quickly identify and manage plugins that have been recently active on their site.

Example usage:

# List recently active plugins
$ wp plugin list --recently-active

# Activate all recently active plugins
$ wp plugin activate $(wp plugin list --recently-active --field=name)

Option to Delete Unknown Image Sizes

A new --delete-unknown flag has been added to the wp media regenerate command. This allows users to remove files and image metadata for image sizes that no longer exist in the site’s configuration, without regenerating other thumbnails.

Example usage:

# Remove unknown image sizes for all images
$ wp media regenerate --delete-unknown

# Remove unknown image sizes for a specific image
$ wp media regenerate 123 --delete-unknown

This feature is particularly useful for cleaning up after changing image size configurations or removing plugins that added custom image sizes.

User Existence Check Command

A new wp user exists command has been added, similar to the existing wp post exists command. This allows for quick checks on whether a user exists in the WordPress database.

Example usage:

# The user exists.
$ wp user exists 1337
Success: User with ID 1337 exists.
$ echo $?
0

# The user does not exist.
$ wp user exists 10000
$ echo $?
1

Fish Shell Completion Support

WP-CLI now supports command completion for the Fish shell, expanding its compatibility beyond Bash and Zsh. This addition makes it easier for Fish shell users to work with WP-CLI commands.

New i18n make-php command

The WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. performance team is working on the Performant Translations feature project, which aims to speed up translations by using PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. https://www.php.net/manual/en/preface.php. files instead of MO files. The goal is to get it ready for WordPress 6.5.

The new i18n make-php command allows you to experiment with these faster translations right away and see how these work for your projects.

# Create PHP files for all PO files in the current directory.

$ wp i18n make-php .



# Create a PHP file from a single PO file in a specific directory.

$ wp i18n make-php example-plugin-de_DE.po languages

Update themes to minor or patch versions

When updating themes with WP-CLI, you can now to choose to only update to the latest minor or patch version with the new flags --minor and --patch.

You could already do this for pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party updates, and now themes are joining the club as well.

Support for adding and removing of multiple user roles

The two commands user add-role and user remove-role are now less lazy and can accept multiple roles to add or remove for a given user. You can make this work by simply adding as many roles as needed as separate arguments.

$ wp user add-role 12 author editor

Success: Added 'author', 'editor' roles for johndoe (12).


$ wp user remove-role 12 author editor

Success: Removed 'author', 'editor' roles for johndoe (12).

FilterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions.

#release, #v2-8-1

After a bit of unexpected delay, a new release of WP-CLIWP-CLI WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way. The project page is http://wp-cli.org/ https://make.wordpress.org/cli/ is available as of today: WP-CLI v2.8.0. For this release, we had 66 contributors collaborate to get 277 pull requests merged. 

As always, big thanks to the WP-CLI sponsors that make the continued maintenance possible.

This is a small release with the main purpose of polishing PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. https://www.php.net/manual/en/preface.php. 8.1/8.2 support. Nevertheless, apart from the flurry of bugs that were fixed, we also have a few new features that I’ll want to highlight. As always, you can also skip directly to the detailed changelog if you prefer.

Bundled with Requests v2

The last component that needed updating for full PHP 8.1 was the bundled Requests library. With the move to v2 of Requests, adding support for PHP 8.1 seems to be complete, an.d PHP 8.2 is starting to look good as well.

Note that the way the dependencies interact between WP-CLI and WordPress CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. (which has no proper dependency management that could help out here) makes for a somewhat hacky solution at this time. We’re looking into something more robust for a future release, but until then make sure you submit issues when you encounter edge cases that the current approach does not yet take into account.

Improve support for caching solutions

There is a new command wp cache supports <feature> to detect cache features like add_multiple. Furthermore, we have a new command wp cache flush-group that allows you to flush at the group level. Also, WP-CLI now produces warning when you use wp transient list when an object cache is active. Finally, WP-CLI now recognizes Object Cache Pro as a caching solution.

$ wp cache supports add_multiple
$ echo $?
0

$ wp cache flush-group my_group
Success: Cache group 'my_group' was flushed.

Fetch URLs of entities

For the posts, terms and comments, you can now retrieve their canonical URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org via the --field=url argument. As an example, you can retrieve the URL of the post with ID 123 via the following command:

$ wp post get 123 --field=url
https://example.com/hello-world-the-sequel/

Skip config changes on multisiteMultisite Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create a network of sites on a single WordPress installation. Available since WordPress version 3.0, Multisite is a continuation of WPMU or WordPress Multiuser project. WordPress MultiUser project was discontinued and its features were included into WordPress core.https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network. conversion

In case you’re working on a read-only filesystem or are forced to push file changes through VCS, you can now skip the automatic config file changes that wp core multisite-convert does. All you need to do is add the --skip-config flag, and the command will not only obey that choice, but also conveniently print the changes you need to make to the config file manually. This behavior was already included with wp core multisite-install, but now the conversion command knows this trick too.

$ wp core multisite-convert --skip-config
Set up multisite database tables.
Addition of multisite constants to 'wp-config.php' skipped. You need to add them manually:
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', {$subdomain_export} );
\$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'example.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
Success: Network installed. Don't forget to set up rewrite rules (and a .htaccess file, if using Apache).

Verify checksums for the root folder

The wp core verify-checksums now has a new --include-root flag that makes it scan and verify the root folder as well (the one that ABSPATH points to).

$ wp core verify-checksums --include-root
Warning: File should not exist: dump.sql
Warning: File should not exist: backdoor.php

Configure autoloading behavior for options

Two new commands wp option get-autoload and wp option set-autoload have been added to change the autoloading behavior for an existing option. This was not easily possible with wp option update as that only allowed the autoloading to change when the value changed as well.

$ wp option add foo bar
Success: Added 'foo' option.
$ wp option get-autoload foo
yes
$ wp option set-autoload foo no
Success: Updated autoload value for 'foo' option.
$ wp option set-autoload foo no
Success: Autoload value passed for 'foo' option is unchanged.

New flags for password reset

The command wp user reset-password now has two new flags. The first one is --show-password, and it will immediately show the new password as it is being reset. The second one is --porcelain, and it will show only the password and nothing else as output of the command. The latter one is useful for scripting purposes.

$ wp user reset-password admin --skip-email --show-password
Reset password for admin.
Password: bt6Hy!9*P0A1
Success: Password reset for 1 user.

$ wp user reset-password admin --skip-email --porcelain
yV6BP*!d70wg

Include ad-hoc code instead of evaluating it

If you’re using the wp eval-file command, it will read the file you point it to and run it through the PHP eval logic. This has a few drawbacks, though. One one hand, directives like declare(strict_types=1) will throw errors. On the other, it is not possible to use XDebug to debug such an evaluated piece of code.

To counter this, the wp eval-file command now has a new --use-include flag that makes it include the file you’re pointing to, instead of running it through eval. Note that this does not work with STDIN as input, so the - file argument can not be used at the same time as the --use-include flag.

#release, #v2-7-1

A new release of WP-CLIWP-CLI WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way. The project page is http://wp-cli.org/ https://make.wordpress.org/cli/ is available as of today: WP-CLI v2.7.0. For this release, we had 48 contributors collaborate to get 195 pull requests merged. 🎉

As always, big thanks to the WP-CLI sponsors that make the continued maintenance possible. ❤️

This is a small release with the main purpose of getting some much needed bug fixes into a stable version. Nevertheless, we also have a few new features that I’ll want to highlight. As always, you can also skip directly to the detailed changelog if you prefer.

Support for docker-compose run

The --ssh flag and ssh configuration key (and along with them the remote execution aliases) have learned a new scheme: docker-compose-run:.

The docker: and docker-compose: schemes for the ssh option are useful, but they only work when the target container is already running and therefore supports running a shell command via docker[-compose] exec.

Some environments, for example the wordpress-develop local development environment, run WP-CLI via a container that only starts when needed and therefore requires the use of run instead of exec.

With the support of the new docker-compose-run scheme in place you could put the following config into the root of any project that uses wordpressdevelop/cli and then simply use wp <cmd> instead of npm run env:cli -- <cmd> or docker-compose run cli -- <cmd>.

# wp-cli.yml
ssh: docker-compose-run:cli

Customizable global parameters

It was not previously possible to extend the list of parameters without modifying the WP-CLI source files. While we are still considering different options for making the global parameters extensibleExtensible This is the ability to add additional functionality to the code. Plugins extend the WordPress core software. via a clean APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways., we already needed a short-term solution for a specific use case.

Because of this, we now introduced a set of small changes that allow the global parameters to be adapted on a “platform level”. This means that, for now, you can change the global parameters, but only if you control the environment in which WP-CLI is being executed in. This functionality works through the combination of the following changes:

• A new constant WP_CLI_CONFIG_SPEC_FILTER_CALLBACK is being checked to filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. the array that the config-spec.php file has provided.
• A new environment variable WP_CLI_EARLY_REQUIRE is checked to allow for the environment to provide extra PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. https://www.php.net/manual/en/preface.php. bootstrapping logic.

You can use both of these to let the WP_CLI_EARLY_REQUIRE load a PHP file that defines a new filter callback and then sets the WP_CLI_CONFIG_SPEC_FILTER_CALLBACK to point to that filter.

This test snippet shows an example of how these two mechanisms can be used in tandem:

Download WordPress CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. files without extracting them

Previously, you could already use the core download command not only to retrieve the set of files from the WordPress central servers. But we did not have a way to solely download a ZIP archive of WordPress Core instead.

Now you can do so via the --extract flag. This is on by default to keep with the current behavior, but you can now switch extraction off by adding the --no-extract flag.

Why would you do that, if it is a single file download you could also trigger via wget or curl? Well, for one, it uses the HTTPHTTP HTTP is an acronym for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web and this protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. stack of WordPress/WP-CLI to do the download. And what’s more, it allows you to use the smart WP-CLI flags like --version to automatically retrieve the file from the right URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org.

Directly install a specific locale

Previously, when you wanted to install a locale of WordPress Core other than the default en_US, you had to first run a wp core install, and then switch the locale in a second step.

Now, WP-CLI allows you to select a specific locale right away via core install‘s new --locale flag.

Ordering of the db size results

To quickly see what the biggest tables in your installation are, you can now make use of the new --order and --orderby flags. The most useful example would be to use --orderby=size --order=desc to get the largest tables first.

Clean duplicate metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. values

Due to limitations of the WordPress database schema, the WordPress importer can end up inadvertently creating duplicate post meta entries if the import is run multiple times.

WP-CLI has now learned a new command to remove duplicate post meta values for a given meta key.

# Delete duplicate post meta.
wp post meta clean-duplicates 1234 enclosure
Success: Cleaned up duplicate 'enclosure' meta values.

Exclude select plugins on certain pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party commands

The plugin commands activate, deactivate, delete and uninstall now accept an additional --exclude flag if you use their --all flag.

The --exclude accepts a comma-separated list of plugin slugs, and allows you to do operations in the vein of “deactivate all plugins except for these few ones”.

# Deactivate all plugins with exclusion
$ wp plugin deactivate --all --exclude=hello,wordpress-seo
Plugin 'contact-form-7' deactivated.
Plugin 'ninja-forms' deactivated.
Success: Deactivated 2 of 2 plugins.

Multiple changes to the i18n support

In our ongoing effort to further internationalization support within GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/, we have made yet another around of i18n changes and additions.

Most of the changes deal with changes to block.json and theme.json, in order to support all the latest fields and mechanisms.

Also, there is now a new update-po command. Up until now, if you added a new translation to one of your plugins, you could update the messages.pot file with make-pot, but you’d have to update existing po files with the new translation by hand. With the new i18n update-po (which is a WP-CLI alternative to msgmerge), you get around this without requiring manual edits.

And finally, i18n now supports PHP Blade templates as an additional input format to parse for translations.
