Scripts

wp-backup

wp-backup makes a full backup of your wordpress dir and database

Syntax

$ wp-backup wordpress-dir backup-dir

backup-dir is the base directory for backups. The real backup will be named using the wordpress dir name and current date/time

$ wp-backup koke.amedias.org /home/koke/backups
...
$ ls backups/
backups/koke.amedias.org-20080523032213.sql  backups/koke.amedias.org-20080523032213.tar.bz2

wp-dump

wp-dump helps you to backup your wordpress database. Just tell where is the wordpress directory and where to put the dump file

Syntax

$ wp-dump wordpress-dir outfile

outfile will be a gzipped SQL dump, so you should use the .sql.gz extension

wp-import

wp-import helps you to restore your wordpress database. Just tell where is the wordpress directory and where to read the backup file

wp-import expects the backup to be a gzipped dump

Syntax

$ wp-import wordpress-dir infile

publish.sh

publish.sh is useful if you:

• Manage your plugins with git
• Want to publish versions to a remote server using scp

Syntax

$ publish.sh plugin_name version

publish.sh will replace version numbers in your code (see Requirements), tag the release with git, create a tarball and upload it to the specified server.

Requirements

First, you need a config file called ~/.wpplugins. An sample way to do this is

$ echo myserver.example.com:public_html/plugins/ > ~/.wpplugins

where myserver.example.com is your server and public_html/plugins/ is the path (relative from your $HOME) to upload the tarballs

publish.sh can also replace version numbers in your plugin. It will detect these two cases

• Plugin header: Version 0.1
• Version constant: define(plugin_name_version, '0.1');

wp-update-home

When you are syncing wordpress databases, one of the fundamental things to change is the siteurl and home options with the remote URL.

Syntax

$ wp-update-home wordpress-dir myhost.example.com
