  • 2 min read

This may be the most exciting feature we’ve launched yet! Why? Well not only is it super powerful and makes managing WordPress sites a breeze, but it’s the first of it’s kind!

Okay, Ben… what is it?!?

Today, we’re releasing an all-new web-based WP-CLI Terminal for all customers on the Rocket.net managed WordPress Hosting platform. This web based terminal is directly available in our Control Panel with a single click and makes it easier than ever to manage your site with WP-CLI.

What can WP-CLI do for me?

I’m glad you asked! In our initial release of the web-based WP-CLI Terminal, you can easily do quick things like:

  • Manage Plugins (disable breaking plugins, update/install plugins, etc)
  • Manage Themes (disable a broken theme, update/install themes, etc)
  • Manage Users (reset passwords, create/delete users, etc)
  • Search and Replace (both SQL and PHP level)
  • Manage WP-Config options (read the config, update constants, etc)

All of the WP-CLI commands can be found directly on WordPress.org

As we continue to iterate on the web-based WP-CLI terminal, we would love to hear from you! If you notice something missing or room for improvement, please do not hesitate to reach out via our Feature Request board.

How do I use the WP-CLI Terminal?

Easy! To launch the WP-CLI Terminal, simply login to your Rocket.net control panel, click on the Manage link for the site you wish to manage, then navigate to the Advanced tab.

Once on the advanced tab, you’ll see the all-new WP-CLI section below the phpMyAdmin section. Simply click the WP-CLI Button and you’re ready to go!
