wordpress-scripts

A small collection of utilities to manage wordpress installations. http://people.warp.es/~koke/wordpress-scripts/

Warning: these are early versions which I use for small tasks. If you find a bug or have suggestions, contact me at jbernal@warp.es

Scripts

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’);
