wp-cli

Terminal-first WordPress operations. Safer than wp-admin for bulk work, scriptable, SSH-friendly, and won't time out on 10k-row updates.

When to use

  • Site migration (local → staging → prod), including search-replace of URLs
  • Bulk plugin / theme / user / post / comment operations
  • Database export/import, optimization, repair
  • Reading or setting wp_options, config constants, or theme mods
  • Running or scheduling cron events
  • Multisite admin tasks (wp site ...)
  • Anything scripted or SSH-driven where clicking through wp-admin isn't viable

When NOT to use
