WP-CLI uses the same locale as the WordPress installation, so if you deal with multiple locales, it might be tricky to follow the output. Luckily, the official documentation shows how to set a specific locale. Here’s a quick summary, plus an important caveat I found: 1. Create a file called force-locale.php and set your desired…

I made a simple plugin with AI’s help that I use locally, so I don’t have to log in as administrator every time I reset a WordPress site to run tests. The initial plugin code had the credentials hard-coded, but before sharing it, I changed it to fetch the first admin user from the database.…

I’ve shared how to remove all files in a directory except specific subfolders in Bash, but unfortunately, this command doesn’t work for Zsh. After some tweaking, I was able to reproduce the same behavior, which is to remove everything inside wp-content/plugins/, except folders starting with dk- or exactly named auto-login, and index.php: Dry run Here’s…

I learned that macOS has a useful command called trash to move files to the trash instead of deleting them permanently like rm. On Linux (Ubuntu), there’s no native command for that, but you can use the trash-cli tool. Now, just create an alias to emulate the same command: 🤖 Clarification on the use of…
