With our unique WordPress command-line interface terminal, using WP-CLI has never been easier! No longer do you need to be a Linux pro to make use of the powerful WP-CLI tool set.
Before you use WP-CLI, please read the release announcement at the Rocket.net blog for an overview and some basic information about how to use it.
Accessing WP-CLI To access WP-CLI from the Webcentral Dashboard, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to the Webcentral Panel at https://theconsole.webcentral.au/
  2. In the left sidebar, click Managed WordPress:
  1. On the My Websites page, locate the site, and then click Manage
  1. On the Webcentral dashboard, click the Advanced icon:
  1. In the Advanced Settings section, in the WP Command Line Interface row, click WP-CLI:
  1. The WP-CLI terminal appears, ready for your commands:
Using WP-CLI The WP-CLI Terminal is not the same as an SSH command prompt. The only command available is wp with another command called an “argument” after it. For example: 
wp theme list
wp plugin list
wp user list
The wp command invokes WP-CLI, and [item] list displays lists of each of those items. One of the most powerful tools available in WP-CLI is the search-replace command, which allows you to search the database for any text and replace it. For example, the following command changes references from an old domain name (example.net) to a new domain name (example.com): 
wp search-replace 'https://example.net' 'https://example.com'
You should not use this command to change a site’s domain name. The example above refers to an arbitrary URL in the database.
In some cases, you may need to use the options —all-tables and —precise to instruct WP-CLI to search the entire database. You may also want to add the —dry-run option at the end so you can test the command without making any actual replacements in the database.
