From the course: WordPress: WP-CLI
Who is it for?
- [Instructor] It seems like we can do everything with WP-CLI through the dashboard. So is it for everyone and how can it make your job easier? Well, if you manage any WordPress sites, WP-CLI can make your life much, much easier. You can install, update, and delete themes and plugins in a single command instead of multiple clicks. You can also manage spam comments or batch edit posts. You can even do a full WordPress installation. That said, you should also be comfortable with the command line interface. You'll be typing Unix-like commands into a text-based processor and navigating and troubleshooting. That can be daunting if you've never done it before. Luckily, there are some courses in the LinkedIn Learning library. I recommend "Learning Linux Command Line" and "Learning SSH." So if you're comfortable with the command line and you're ready to make managing WordPress sites and interacting with WordPress in general faster, this course is for you.
