WP-CLI: Command line interface for WordPress

I have been using this for a while now, and I love it. Basically you can control WordPress right from the CL. Awesome stuff.

Everything seems to work better when you can use the command line to... BASH it into submission

I posted this awhile ago!

I have a script I wrote that automatically updates my Wordpress sites every 3 hours via cron...

==================================================================================
#!/bin/sh
echo

echo The current time and date is: $(date)

echo

cd /var/www/builtbyart.com
pwd | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp core update --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp theme update --all --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp plugin update --all --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp comment delete $(/usr/local/bin/wp comment list --status=spam --format=ids --allow-root) --allow-root | ts

echo

cd /var/www/literaryworksbyaj.com
pwd | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp core update --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp theme update --all --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp plugin update --all --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp comment delete $(/usr/local/bin/wp comment list --status=spam --format=ids --allow-root) --allow-root | ts

echo

cd /var/www/thanksaj.com
pwd | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp core update --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp theme update --all --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp plugin update --all --allow-root | ts
/usr/local/bin/wp comment delete $(/usr/local/bin/wp comment list --status=spam --format=ids --allow-root) --allow-root | ts

To use ts, you use

apt-get -y install moreutils

I point to the full path because sometimes, via script, it didn't work without it.

WordPress is the WIndows 95 of blogging software, and now it's invaded command line, there's no escape from the clutches of one of the worst code bases to ever exist.

The slowest, worst written blogging system in existence is great? Well, I guess some people enjoy herpes too.

Bad experience? I developed on the WordPress code base in the past, it literally is one of the worst code bases there is. It's extremely disorganised, doesn't properly meet any standard in existence, and even today the code is approached as if it's written in PHP 4.1. WordPress has more vulnerabilities than almost any other equally popular piece of software, and also their crappy API leads to crappy plugins which also have tons of vulnerabilities. The key people in WordPress don't know how to program, that's the primary issue.

I don't have a favourite, they're all shit, and ironically WordPress is the best because it's easiest to get going and has so many options available. It's poorly executed. Turn on query log sometime, a regular page load will probably be about 100 database queries, many of them identical, which screams incompetence. It's sort of funny, WordPress attempts to promote caching tools for problems they themselves have created.

Here's some more detail:

Oh please, everything Symantec makes is amazingly great and competent, I'm 100% sure their programmers don't have severe brain damage.

I figured that's what you meant, and no I haven't, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to trash Symantec.

You don't have too, they already trashed themselves.

All you have to do with a crappy piece of software is add a bunch of themes and then people will accept it.
