WordPress CLI

WP-CLI is the command-line interface for WordPress. It allows you to perform many actions that would normally require visiting your WordPress Dashboard in a browser. The following commands are provided by LiteSpeed, so that you may manage your cache with the CLI.

Warning

These commands are new for v3. All previous commands have been deprecated. Please update your scripts accordingly.

Option Commands

Commands having to do with options all begin with litespeed-option.

Set a Particular Option

  • Command: litespeed-option set
  • Parameters:

Example

wp litespeed-option set cache-priv false

Example

wp litespeed-option set 'cdn-mapping[url][0]' https://cdn.EXAMPLE.com

What if <value> contains multiple lines? The CLI doesn't accept multi-line input, so you would need to use a different syntax, like this:

wp litespeed-option set <key> $'<value1>\n<value2>'

Example

To set media-lqip_exc to a list of three images like this: 

img1.jpg
img2.jpg
