Description

WordPress MySQL Manager was designed to speedup wordpress data sync between wordpress servers instances, respecting WordPress original data model.

At the time it can be configured for 2 servers instances only, eg. development and production server. They connect trought SSH and use MySQL worpress special queries to sync data respecting WordPress original data model, you can sync only posts related content or just wp_options tables.

CONFIGURATION

Change default configurable variables and rename config-example.sh to config.sh.
Tip: You can use a default value for database name and table prefix, shortening even more the commands, if you run just one WordPress site it is the best option, or if you are working most of time with one prefixed wp install on some database.

  • –prefix : prefixed tables: only tables with prefix $TABLE_PREFIX inside database $DATABASENAME
  • –posts-and-tax: wordPress posts tables (${TABLE_PREFIX}posts, ${TABLE_PREFIX}postmeta, ${TABLE_PREFIX}termmeta, ${TABLE_PREFIX}terms, ${TABLE_PREFIX}term_relationships, ${TABLE_PREFIX}term_taxonomy) (Best choice for auto-sync)
  • –posts : posts tables – ${TABLE_PREFIX}posts
  • –options : options table – ${TABLE_PREFIX}options
  • –name : prompt for user to enter custom tables separated by commas
  • -a | –auto : auto sync between servers instances by highest wp post_id on selected table
  • -i | –import : import from remote (probably production) to local (probably dev)
  • -c | –compare : compare sql tables structure (diff) (ignores data)
  • -b | –backup : just perfom a backup

Exclusive feature: WordPress Posts Table Auto Sync (two ways)

You can check what server has the highest WordPress post ID and then automatically sync them (export, compact, download/upload, extract, safe copy, mysql import) usually server configurations is based on a master and slave replication schema, based on commits, but that sometimes can be frustraint for wordpress developers that use other logic for data management, eg. you can make changes on dev server while receiving only new posts from production server (for better knowing if you download all data from production server, wordpress will overwrite all data, posts and local changes, with auto sync posts you can always preserve server configuration).

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

  1. First change settings in config-example.sh and rename it to config.sh
  2. Open terminal in that folder and run the command ./wpsql-cli.sh –commandname –tableprefix –databasename
  3. If you run ./install.sh you can just open terminal anywhere and run wpsql command with options

WIZARD

For a different approach than command line you can run the wizard just by

$ wpsql-cli -w
Load configuration file... (to change it open config.sh)

1 - Auto Sync - Check for highest post ID
 MANUAL
