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.
