Tools Open Source PHP WordPress

WP Tools

WP Tools is a collection of shell commands for maintaining WordPress databases.

Usage

To run the shell, simply run wp-tools from the command line and pass the
location of your WordPress installation as the -w argument along with a
command:

$ wp-tools <command> -w /path/to/wordpress

Commands

  • help: Display help
  • move: Move WP database entries to a new domain
  • clean-orphans: Remove old, unused metadata

move

WordPress hardcodes all of its urls, making it difficult to move databases
between environments. This command helps alleviate that pain by performing all
of the repetitive database tasks for you.

clean-orphans

Often times you can end up with extra cruft in your postmeta table. This
command will run through and remove any post meta that doesn’t belong to an
existing post anymore.
