Terminal Access
Opening the Web Terminal
Click "Open Terminal" from your site dashboard to launch a full bash shell in your browser. You are dropped directly into your WordPress root directory with no additional authentication needed.
Using WP-CLI
WP-CLI is pre-installed on every site. Common commands: wp plugin list, wp plugin update --all, wp cache flush, wp search-replace old.domain new.domain --all-tables. Run wp help for the full reference.
Running Composer
Composer is available globally. Run composer install or composer update from any directory containing a composer.json. Useful for WordPress projects managing PHP dependencies through Composer (e.g. Bedrock, Sage).
Importing & Exporting via CLI
Use wp db export backup.sql to dump your database and wp db import backup.sql to restore it. For file transfers between servers, rsync or scp to your SFTP credentials is the fastest approach.
Cron Jobs
WordPress cron runs on page load by default. For reliable scheduling, disable it in wp-config.php (define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true)) and set up a real system cron via the terminal using crontab -e.
