List Post Details<\/a> List Page Details<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WP-CLI<\/em><\/a> allows you to manage your WordPress website(s) from the command line. It’s even simple to gather important details about your existing content, like posts\/pages for example. These details are needed in the syntax of commands to manipulate the various components of your website. In this guide, you will learn how to list details<\/strong> of your Posts<\/em> and Pages<\/em> using WP-CLI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

List Post Details<\/h2>\n

Posts<\/em> can be easily found, using the wp post list<\/em> sub-command. The instructions below, will guide you through the process of listing the details<\/strong> of your Posts<\/strong>, using WP-CLI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    SSH into your server<\/a> as the cPanel user that owns the website you would like to work with.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Use the cd<\/span> command to switch to the document root directory of your website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Example: cd public_html\/wp<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

    NOTE: <\/b>Be sure to replace public_html\/wp<\/b><\/span> with the actual path to the document root directory of your website.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    Run the following command:<\/p>\n

    wp post list<\/span><\/p>\n

    The output will be similar to the example below:<\/p>\n

    exampl3@example.com [~\/public_html\/wp]# wp post list +----+----------------+------------------+---------------------+-------------+ | ID | post_title     | post_name        | post_date           | post_status | +----+----------------+------------------+---------------------+-------------+ | 39 | Blogging 101   | blogging-101     | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 40 | Basic...nomies | basic-taxonomies | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 41 | Tips...Writing | tip...er-writing | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | +----+----------------+------------------+---------------------+-------------+<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/a><\/p>\n
    List Page Details<\/h2>\n
    Since Pages<\/em> are stored in the same manner as Posts<\/em>, you can use the wp post list<\/em> sub-command to find details about the Pages<\/em> for your website. The instructions below will guide you through the process of displaying details<\/strong> for your Pages<\/strong> using WP-CLI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. \n
      SSH into your server<\/a> as the cPanel user that owns the website you would like to work with.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n
      Use the cd<\/span> command to switch to the document root directory of your website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
      Example: cd public_html\/wp<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
      NOTE: <\/b>Be sure to replace public_html\/wp<\/b><\/span> with the actual path to the document root directory of your website.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    3. \n
      Run the following command:<\/p>\n
      wp post list –post_type=page<\/span><\/p>\n
      The output should be similar to the example below:<\/p>\n
      exampl3@example.com [~\/public_html\/wp]# wp post list --post_type=page +----+-----------------+-----------------+---------------------+-------------+ | ID | post_title      | post_name       | post_date           | post_status | +----+-----------------+-----------------+---------------------+-------------+ | 42 | About Us        | about-us        | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 44 | Clients         | clients         | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 46 | Gallery         | gallery         | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 48 | Resume          | resume          | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 50 | Info            | info            | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 52 | Testimonials    | testimonials    | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 54 | Contact Us      | contact-us      | 2018-02-21 16:17:58 | publish     | | 37 | Home            | home            | 2018-02-21 16:17:57 | publish     | +----+-----------------+-----------------+---------------------+-------------+<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
