How to Run WP-CLI Commands

Overview
WP-CLI (WordPress Command Line Interface) commands allow you to manage your WordPress® site directly from the command line.
By default, terminal access is enabled. If you do not have access to the Terminal interface, contact your hosting provider.
How to run WP-CLI commands
To access the Terminal interface, click on the terminal ()icon in the left menu bar. The Terminal interface will appear.
To run a WP-CLI command, you must first navigate to the root
directory of your website. The root
directory is located at ~/public_html/your_domain/
where your_domain
is replaced by the domain name.
Enter the command you wish to run, starting with wp
and followed by the command
and the subcommand
. For example, if you want to see a list of the plugins you have installed, run the command: wp plugin list
.
You may run any available WP-CLI command. For a list of WP-CLI commands, read WordPress’s WP-CLI Commands documentation.
