Title: v2.3.0 – WP-CLI – WordPress.org --- # Tag Archives: v2.3.0 [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schlessera/) [Alain Schlesser](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schlessera/) 12:59 am _on_ August 14, 2019 Tags: [release ( 21 )](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/release/), v2.3.0    # 󠀁[WP-CLI Release v2.3.0](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2019/08/14/wp-cli-v2-3-0-release-notes/)󠁿 This release v2.3.0 is, as already announced, rather unspectacular. The previous release was very taxing for several reasons, so we lowered the pace for a while to recover. This version is mainly meant to finally get a few bug fixes out there that were not critical enough to warrant an immediate hotfix release but are nice to have eradicated at one point, nevertheless. Overall, a team of 36 contributors has collaborated to get 129 pull requests merged. I’ll briefly go over some of the more noteworthy stuff, but as always, you can also skip directly to the [detailed changelog](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/v2-3-0/?output_format=md#changelog) if you prefer. ### New command to fix image orientation Some cameras and smartphones will automatically tag pictures to denote “which way is up”. This means that you will have these devices show you the pictures you took during your handstand in the correct orientation no matter what, even though the actual picture file is upside down. The `media` command now has a new subcommand `media fix-orientation` that reads these special tags and properly applies them to your images. This way, the images will also be shown with the correct orientation on devices that do not support this tag. ### You can now skip tables using wildcards The `--skip-tables` flag for the `search-replace` command has learnt a new trick– it now lets you skip a group of tables in one go through wildcards. You can use wildcards like `'wp_*options'` or `'wp_post*'` to make your life easier. ### Add config settings to the end of the file Up until now you always had to provide an anchor to attach changes to your `wp-config. php` to when using the `config add` command. You can use this through the special anchor flag `--anchor=EOF`. ### Optimized vagrant support When you’re connecting to your vagrant VMs through WP-CLIWP-CLI WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way.
