WP-CLI for UpdraftPlus: backup from the WordPress command line

Do you manage lots of WordPress sites?

UpdraftCentral is an ideal way of controlling all your WordPress installs, backups and updates from one dashboard.

But we recognise that some of our advanced users and coders like to use WP CLI. The command-line interface (CLI) has always been popular in the world of developers because it provides tools that boost productivity and speed up the development process For those who don’t know, CLI stands for Command-Line Interface. It enables users to carry out all kinds of actions you might perform in the WordPress Admin (or UpdraftCentral)-for example, updating plugins and configuring multiple installs- but without using a web browser.

We’ve now made it possible for you to control UpdraftPlus Premium through WP CLI. This is something many of our professional technical customers will find handy, as although it doesn’t have a nice-looking graphical user interface, it makes it quicker to perform complex and lengthy coding, thus boosting productivity and speeding up development.
