After years teaching @wpcli, I saw how the command line holds many back. At #WCEU2025, I introduced a simple web-based tool that turns checkbox selections into WP-CLI commands and scripts. This is how AI can help you automate and standardize with ease.

I've long been annoyed with how unergonomic it is to run WP-CLI commands in wp-env. So I put together a solution that makes wp-env's presence completely transparent: weston.ruter.net/2024/09/03/erg…

⚠️ Important tip
If you suspect your website was hacked or infected with malicious code: DON'T RUN REGULAR WP-CLI COMMANDS ON IT!
With most regular commands WP-CLI will execute the malicious code just like your web server, however it will have elevated privileges as well. 🧵👇

Once you know where the malicious code is, you can still use WP-CLI to some extent if you always make sure the malicious code is NEVER triggered.

For example, if bad code is only in plugin XYZ, you can append `--skip-plugins=xyz` to all the commands to make sure it's not loaded.

Some WP-CLI commands (like most of the DB commands) don't actually load WordPress itself, so they are safe to use.

But for all other commands, always remember: WP-CLI will load and execute your entire WordPress site with all active plugins/themes, just like your web server.

New WP-CLI release v2.10.0 is out!

This contains many bug fixes and a few interesting new features.

Check it out!
