Title: release – WP-CLI – WordPress.org --- # Tag Archives: release [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schlessera/) [Alain Schlesser](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schlessera/) 2:24 am _on_ May 7, 2025 Tags: release, v2.12.0    # 󠀁[WP-CLI v2.12.0 Release Notes](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2025/05/07/wp-cli-v2-12-0-release-notes/)󠁿 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/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/),** WP-CLI v2.12.0**, is now available. For this release, we had **68 contributors** collaborate to get **382 pull requests** merged.  As always, big thanks to the [WP-CLI sponsors](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/sponsors/) that make the continued maintenance possible. This release includes numerous bug fixes and compatibility improvements, but we still could teach WP-CLI a few new tricks which I’ll highlight below. As always, you can also skip directly to the [detailed changelog](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/release/?output_format=md#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](https://wp-cli.org/#installing). ### Pluck & patch commands for caches and transients The `cache` and `transient` commands have now also learned the subtle art of plucking and patching. This means that you can directly manipulate individual entries in an array of values that these commands let you manage. Here’s an example of how such an operation can look and how it compare to the regular cache/transient operations: ```wp-block-code # Transient structure # 'some_key' => ['foo' => ['bar' => 'baz']] # Retrieve the transient value $ wp transient get some_key --format=json {'foo':{'bar':'baz'}} # Retrieve the value of the foo => bar subkey $ wp transient pluck some_key foo bar baz # Replace baz with bazzer $ wp transient patch update some_key foo bar bazzer Success: Updated transient 'some_key'. ``` ### Post lists can now handle complex query flags When using `post list`, you can now use JSONJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. notation to provide complex query arguments to the `--tax_query`, `--meta_query` and `--post_date` fields. ```wp-block-code $ wp post list --field=post_title --date_query='{"before":{"year":"2024"}} +--------------------------+ | post_title | +--------------------------+ | My year in review - 2021 | | My year in review - 2022 | | My year in review - 2023 | +--------------------------+ $ wp post list --field=post_title --tax_query='[{"taxonomy":"category","field":"slug","terms":"first-category"}]' ... $ wp post list --field=post_title --meta_query='[{"key":"key2","value":"value2b"}]' ... ``` ### Post 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. can be forced to only return a single value The `post meta get` command now has a `--single` flag defaulting to `true` which can be negated with `--no-single`. This flag tells WordPress whether to only return a single value or all existing values for a given key. ```wp-block-code # Create a post meta key for post with ID 123 that has multiple values $ wp post meta add 123 my_meta_key value_1 $ wp post meta add 123 my_meta_key value_2 $ wp post meta add 123 my_meta_key value_4 # Retrieve a single value $ wp post meta get 123 my_meta_key --single value_1 # Retrieve all values $ wp post meta get 123 my_meta_key --no-single --format=json ["value_1","value_2","value_3"] ``` ### Exclude files on `core checksum` verification When running a `core checksum` verification, you can exclude one or more files from the checksum verification with the new `--exclude=` flag, which takes a comma- separated list of filepaths relative to the current root. ```wp-block-code # Make a change to the README file in the WordPress core root folder $ echo "nonsense" > readme.html # Run the core checksum verification $ wp core verify-checksums --exclude='readme.html' Success: WordPress installation verifies against checksums. ``` ### Respect `requires` and `requires_php` tags for plugins and themes The 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. and theme commands now understand and respect the `requires` and `requires_php` headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. tags when trying ot install or update extensions. A new state `unavailable` has been introduced to denote the updates that are newer that your current installation but for which your site does not fulfill the requirements. This also adds new fields `requires` and `requires_php` which are displayed if they contain relevant information and otherwise hidden by default. ```wp-block-code $ wp plugin list +----------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------------+----------+--------------+ | name | status | update | version | update_version | auto_update | requires | requires_php | +----------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------------+----------+--------------+ | akismet | inactive | available | 5.1 | 5.3.5 | off | 5.8 | 5.6.20 | | edit-flow | inactive | none | 0.9.9 | | off | 6.0 | 8.0 | | wp-super-cache | inactive | unavailable | 1.9.4 | 1.12.4 | off | 6.5 | 7.0 | +----------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------------+----------+--------------+ $ wp plugin update wp-super-cache Warning: wp-super-cache: This update requires WordPress version 6.5, but the version installed is 6.2. Error: No plugins updated. ``` ### More control over `make-json` generation The `make-json` command was made more powerful again. You can not only set a custom text domain to be used, you can also define the file extension to parse. ```wp-block-code # Use a custom text domain $ wp i18n make-json foo-theme --domain=my-custom-domain Success: Created 1 file. # Include typescript files $ wp i18n make-json foo-theme --extensions=".ts, .tsx" Success: Created 2 files. ``` ### Force update checks on `plugin|theme list` When displaying the list of plugins or themes, WP-CLI now always ensures you get fresh data. No need to manually clear transients anymore! The existing `--skip-update- check` flag can be used to prevent this behavior. ```wp-block-code # Clears any update transients to trigger an update check and display results $ wp plugin list --fields=name,status,update --force-check +-------------+----------+--------+ | name | status | update | +-------------+----------+--------+ | hello-dolly | inactive | none | +-------------+----------+--------+ ``` ### 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](https://www.php.net/manual/en/preface.php)󠁿 8.4 Compatiblity WP-CLI is now fully compatible with PHP 8.4. This has required quite a bit of trickery and hacks to maintain compatibility with our current minimum of PHP 5.6+ at the same time. With the next release, we’ll bump the minimum PHP version to 7.2.24+, which will allow us to get rid of all these workarounds again. ### Detailed Change Log #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/)󠁿 * Fix Phar path resolution with renamed binaries [[#752](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/752)] * Deployment: Fix `FILENAME` env var [[#696](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/696)] * Address deprecation warnings in Behat tests [[#663](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/663)] #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/)󠁿 * Replace `duplicate-post` plugin with `debug-bar` in feature tests [[#6091](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/6091)] * Use forked `mustache` library [[#6090](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/6090)] * Escape CSV output [[#6089](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/6089)] * Make sure existing `esc_like()` takes precedence [[#6088](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/6088)] * Set `display_errors` to `stderr` (lowercase) instead of `STDERR` [[#6084](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/6084)] * Fix update step for nightlies [[#6075](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/6075)] * Detect MariaDB vs MySQLMySQL MySQL is a relational database management system.

The project page is [http://wp-cli.org/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](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](https://make.wordpress.org/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](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/release/?output_format=md#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](https://wp-cli.org/#installing). 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: ```wp-block-code 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. [Advanced Administration Handbook -> Create A Network.](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/multisite/create-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: ```wp-block-code # 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: ```wp-block-code # 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 by the repository owner. 󠀁[https://github.com/](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: ```wp-block-code # 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/](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: ```wp-block-code # 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: ```wp-block-code # 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: ```wp-block-code # 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. ### Detailed change log _To avoid too much noise in the list above, the following types of pull requests have been omitted:_ * _PRs that only bumped dependencies to their latest version._ * _PRs that only fixed a typo in the documentation._ * _PRs that add a Composer script_. #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/)󠁿 * Update versions of WP-CLI used in tests [[#658](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/658)] * Stop testing WordPress `latest` version on 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://profiles.wordpress.org/schlessera/) [Alain Schlesser](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schlessera/) 5:30 pm _on_ February 8, 2024 Tags: release, v2.10.0    # 󠀁[WP-CLI v2.10.0 Release Notes](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2024/02/08/wp-cli-v2-10-0-release-notes/)󠁿 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/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/),** WP-CLI v2.10.0**, is now available. For this release, we had **63 contributors** collaborate to get **233 pull requests** merged.  As always, big thanks to the [WP-CLI sponsors](https://make.wordpress.org/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](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/release/?output_format=md#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](https://wp-cli.org/#installing). ### 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](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/09/05/call-for-testing-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](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. ```wp-block-code # 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. 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/](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-block-code $ 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](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 site list by user When displaying a list of sites on your 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. [Advanced Administration Handbook -> Create A Network.](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/multisite/create-network/) network, you can now filter this list by a site user and only display sites that this user is a part of. You can do so by using the new `--site_user` flag for the` site list` command. This can be helpful for administrative tasks around access control or for offboarding users. ### Detailed change log _To avoid too much noise in the list above, the following types of pull requests have been omitted:_ * _PRs that only bumped dependencies to their latest version._ * _PRs that only fixed a typo in the documentation._ * _PRs that add a Composer script_. #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/)󠁿 * Fix SQLite tests [[#588](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/588)] #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/)󠁿 * Fix PHP deprecation warnings [[#5897](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5897)] * Only use `--skip-column-statistics` flag when available [[#5895](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5895)] * Handle unparseable tags gracefully [[#5894](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5894)] * `WpOrgApi`: allow specifying fields request parameters [[#5893](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5893)] * Remove unneeded compatibility shim [[#5885](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5885)] * Use `has_config()` in `get_config()` to prevent warnings on `null` values [[#5880](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5880)] * Suggest `'network meta'` intead of `'network option'` [[#5879](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5879)] * Updated docblock for `admin.php` [[#5877](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5877)] * Fix PHP fatals when `admin.php` has `CRLF` line endings [[#5875](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5875)] * Standard completion of current option [[#5873](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5873)] * Add `WP_CLI\Utils\has_stdin()` function [[#5872](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5872)] * Add verbosity level and quiet flag in ssh command based on debug flag [[#5869](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5869)] * Remove the pre-commit hook installation and its corresponding command [[#5868](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5868)] * Add missing required arguments when using `--prompt` [[#5865](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5865)] * Move `RecursiveDataStructureTraverser` to `wp-cli/wp-cli` package [[#5864](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5864)][ [#5866](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5866)] [[#5871](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5871)] * Add `docker compose` command support in SSHSSH Secure SHell - a protocol for securely connecting to a remote system in addition to or in place of a password. command generation [[#5863](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5863)] * Add missing documentation for `$data` attribute in `http_request()` [[#5861](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5861)] * Update inline PHP documentation [[#5853](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5853)] * Remove `contrib-list.php` [[#5851](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5851)] * Update release checklist template [[#5850](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5850)] * Update tests to accommodate for SQLite [[#5849](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5849)] * Post-release version bump after v2.9.0 [[#5848](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5848)] * Update `Formatter\show_table` to use `Runner->in_color` rather than `shouldColorize`[ [#5804](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5804)] #### 󠀁[wp-cli/handbook](https://github.com/wp-cli/handbook/)󠁿 * Fix handbook generation when Phar is used directly [[#476](https://github.com/wp-cli/handbook/pull/476)] * Hack Day edits [[#474](https://github.com/wp-cli/handbook/pull/474)] * Refresh functional test docs [[#471](https://github.com/wp-cli/handbook/pull/471)] * Refresh Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time.

The project page is [http://wp-cli.org/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/),** WP-CLI v2.9.0**, is now available. For this release, we had **62 contributors**  collaborate to get **225 pull requests** merged.  As always, big thanks to the [WP-CLI sponsors](https://make.wordpress.org/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](https://www.php.net/manual/en/preface.php) 8.2 support and ensuring compatibility with WordPress 6.4. 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](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/release/?output_format=md#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](https://wp-cli.org/#installing). ### `wp config is-true` The new `wp config is-true` command determines whether value of a specific defined constant or variable is truthy. This is useful for scripting purposes. Example: ```wp-block-code # Assert if MULTISITE is true $ wp config is-true MULTISITE $ echo $? 0 ``` ### Uninstalling languages for all plugins/themes at once The `wp language plugin` and `wp language theme` commands both now support the `-- all` flag. If set, languages for all plugins will be uninstalled. This brings them more in line with other `wp language` commands. ### Modify sites by slug All the `wp site` subcommands, such as `wp site archive`, `wp site delete` or `wp spam` now support a `--slug` argument instead of passing an ID. Here, the slug is the path of the site to be modified. Subdomain on subdomain installs, directory on subdirectory installs. ### SSHSSH Secure SHell - a protocol for securely connecting to a remote system in addition to or in place of a password. ProxyJump support The `wp-cli.yml` config file now supports a `proxyjump` key for hosts to specify a common proxy for all traffic to go through. This is the equivalent of passing the `-J` argument to `ssh`. ### Beginning testing against SQLite This is not a change in WP-CLI itself, but starting with WP-CLI 2.9.0, we’re now running all automated tests against SQLite, using the [SQLite Database Integration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sqlite-database-integration/) feature pluginFeature Plugin A plugin that was created with the intention of eventually being proposed for inclusion in WordPress Core. See [Features as Plugins](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about/release-cycle/features-as-plugins/) developed by the community. This not only makes contributions easier (as no MySQLMySQL MySQL is a relational database management system. A database is a structured collection of data where content, configuration and other options are stored. [https://www.mysql.com](https://www.mysql.com/) database server is needed), but also paves the way for eventually supporting using WP-CLI with WordPress sites using SQLite. It’s still a long way to go, but the initial results are very positive. More on this in the future! In the meantime, this is a great project for our upcoming [WP-CLI Hack Day on Friday, November 10th](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2023/10/18/save-the-date-wp-cli-hack-day-on-friday-november-10th/)! ### Detailed change log _To avoid too much noise in the list above, the following types of pull requests have been omitted:_ * _PRs that only bumped dependencies to their latest version._ * _PRs that only fixed a typo in the documentation._ * _PRs that add an `allow-plugins` rule to Composer_. * _PRs that add a Composer script_. #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/)󠁿 * Update to WPCSWordPress Community Support A public benefit corporation and a subsidiary of the WordPress Foundation, [established](https://wordpressfoundation.org/news/2016/introducing-wordpress-community-support-a-public-benefit-subsidiary/) in 2016. v3 [[#569](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/569)] * No longer necessary to test WordPress latest with PHP 5.6 [[#568](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/568)] * Update branch name in `wp-cli-updatedeb.sh` [[#565](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/565)] * Update DEBIAN/control depends to support later versions of PHP [[#562](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/562)] * Run `trunk` deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. tests against PHP 7 instead of PHP 5.6 [[#560](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/560)] #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/)󠁿 * Add debugging output for `@when` command registration [[#5841](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5841)] * Fix `--skip-themes` for WordPress 6.4 [[#5840](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5840)] * Update `phpcs.xml` to match new WPCS rules [[#5836](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5836)] * Update to WPCS v3 [[#5834](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5834)] * Respect alias `--path=` in `IncludeRequestsAutoloader` [[#5830](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5830)] * Update type hint of `$callable` parameter in `add_command()` method [[#5828](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5828)] * Require PHP 7.0 for tests installing WP via Composer [[#5825](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5825)] * Require PHP 7+ for installing GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.

The project page is [http://wp-cli.org/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](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](https://make.wordpress.org/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](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](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/release/?output_format=md#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 ` 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-block-code $ 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-block-code $ 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. 󠀁[Advanced Administration Handbook -> Create A Network.](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/multisite/create-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-block-code $ 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-block-code $ 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-block-code $ 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-block-code $ 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. ### Detailed change log _To avoid too much noise in the list above, the following types of pull requests have been omitted:_ * _PRs that only bumped dependencies to their latest version._ * _PRs that only fixed a typo in the documentation._ * _PRs that add an `allow-plugins` rule to Composer_. * _PRs that add a Composer script_. #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/)󠁿 * Adapt tests for Requests [[#540](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/540)] * Skip `update-framework.yml` workflow on forks [[#537](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/537)] * Add a workflow to keep `wp-cli/wp-cli` up to date [[#507](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/507)] * Move the new README into its proper location [[#478](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/478)] * Add a new bundle-specific README [[#476](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/476)] * Use Composer 2.2 LTS for PHP < 7.2 [[#472](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/472)] * Detect if running Phar via CLICLI Command Line Interface.

The project page is [http://wp-cli.org/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](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](https://make.wordpress.org/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](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/release/?output_format=md#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](https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/62040b8b9d03b7dec7fbd66c2b415504b0f5ef47/docker-compose.yml#L80), 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 ` instead of `npm run env:cli -- ` or `docker-compose run cli -- `. ```wp-block-code # 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](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](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: ![](https://i0.wp.com/make.wordpress.org/cli/files/2022/10/config.feature-wp-cli- WSL_-Ubuntu-20-2022-10-11-at-9.13.28-PM.04-Visual-Studio-Code.jpeg?resize=776%2C393& ssl=1) ### 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. ```wp-block-code # 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/](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”. ```wp-block-code # 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/](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. ### Detailed change log To avoid too much noise in the list above, the following types of pull requests have been omitted: * PRs that only bumped dependencies to their latest version. * PRs that only fixed a typo in the documentation. * PRs that add an `allow-plugins` rule to Composer #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/)󠁿 * Add `eftect/bladeone` to PHAR for `i18n-command` [[#417](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle/pull/417)] #### 󠀁[wp-cli/wp-cli](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/)󠁿 * Add support for `docker-compose run` to the `--ssh` option [[#5637](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5637)] * Internalize `global_terms_enabled()` [[#5684](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5684)] * Add cache directory path to `cli info` output [[#5681](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5681)] * Always return `PHP_BINARY` when using a PHAR bundle [[#5672](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5672)] * Load `config-spec.php` in a “filterable” way [[#5664](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5664)] * Use different action for admin context logic [[#5663](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5663)] * Require `v3.1.6` of `wp-cli/wp-cli-tests` [[#5659](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5659)] * Address some PHP 8.1 deprecation notices [[#5658](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5658)] * Document return type for `WP_CLI::halt()` as `never` [[#5651](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5651)] * Fix skip theme tests [[#5646](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5646)] * Add missing `$upgrade` argument to `enable_maintenance_mode` filter [[#5630](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5630)] * Handle optional option values in `SynopsisParser::render()` [[#5618](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5618)] * Add missing relative namespace [[#5616](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/5616)] #### 󠀁[wp-cli/handbook](https://github.com/wp-cli/handbook/)󠁿 * Add additional instructions to override the DB test credentials.
