Add Command

InstaWP allows you to add a list of executable Linux-based commands to its prompt, which then can be run remotely on one or multiple sites at once. It lets you manage your WordPress site, themes, and plugins directly from the terminal, which is frequently a more convenient approach for moderate to experienced WordPress users (or developers) to interact with WordPress sites.

In this documentation, we will explore:

• Add Custom Command
• Delete Command

Let’s get started 🚀

Add Custom Command

Go to Settings > Commands from the left panel of your dashboard and select the Add Command button from the top-right corner of your screen.

A new modal window will appear, requesting you to add a new command name. Enter your command name and click Add.

Now you need to enter the exact command into prompt that you want to execute on a site. For example, the below command allows you to install & activate WP plugin -

wp plugin install wp-file-manager --activate

Delete Command

Once you've added the command, you can delete it if it is no longer needed. Click on the delete icon. A pop up will appear for confirmation. Click on the Delete button from the pop-up.
