WordPress expert mode

The expert mode is a new feature that allows access to a terminal to have a simplified and secure use of WP-CLI and GIT.

This mode allows you to :

• Interact more efficiently on your WordPress sites from the command line,
• Allow WP-CLI commands,
• Administer WordPress and GIT sites,
• Manage the versions of your developments.

What is the WP-CLI ?

It is a command line tool that allows developers to manage WordPress installations much faster without having to log in to the administration.

With the help of WP-CLi, it is possible to:

• Update the WordPress core;
• Update plugins and themes.
• Add and remove users
• Add and delete items,
• Search and replace URLs in the database.

WHAT IS GIT ?

It is a powerful decentralized versioning software.
It has nothing to do with WP-CLI, they are two completely different tools.
Git is one of the most widely used version control systems today. Find more information on the official Git website.

EXPERT MODE

Select the WordPress to administer by clicking on the MANAGE.

Then at the bottom, click on the button Expert mode.

The terminal window is displayed on the console page. The most useful commands can be directly selected and customized if needed. The button Clear deletes the history of the terminal.

We allow all commands except wp package and "&&", "ls", "cd" and "rm". Find here the complete list of WP-CLI commands.

For GIT, and at the terminal level, it is exactly the same principle as WP-CLI.

We allow all commands except "&&", "ls", "cd" and "rm". Find here the complete list of Git commands.

You can also use the expert mode in case of domain or structure changes. Here is our dedicated support article to this intervention.
