Using the WP-CLI terminal

Run WP-CLI commands against your site straight from Console.

Written by Daniel

WP-CLI is the command-line tool for WordPress. Console gives you a built-in terminal, so you can run WP-CLI commands without connecting over SSH.


​

Open the terminal

Open your site, then under WordPress select WP-CLI Terminal.

The WP-CLI Terminal


​

Run a command

Type a WP-CLI command at the wp> prompt and press Enter. You do not need to type the leading wp, just the command itself, for example plugin list or cache flush. The output appears above the prompt.


​

Clear the screen

Use the Clear button to empty the terminal output.


​

A word of care

WP-CLI is powerful. Double-check a command before running it, especially anything that changes or deletes data.
