Using LSCache with the WordPress CLI

Welcome to another installment of WordPress Wednesday!
Today’s topic is: Using LSCache with the WordPress CLI

Disclaimer: The information contained in this post is accurate as of LSCWP v3.5.2 [release log]. If you are using a later version, the commands may have changed. Please refer to our documentation.

WP-CLI is the command-line interface for WordPress. It allows you to perform many actions that would normally require you to visit the WordPress Dashboard in a browser. LiteSpeed’s WP-CLI commands that allow you to manage your cache simply from the command line, and with version 3.0 of our plugin, we have expanded these options considerably.

This is just a taste of the commands available. For the full list, including CLI commands for QUIC Cloud services and debugging purposes, please see our documentation.

Option Commands

Use litespeed-option plus these commands to view and change LSCache’s configuration.

all allows you to see what options are available:
```
wp litespeed-option all
```
export sends all of the options to a file:
```
wp litespeed-option export
```
set allows you to change a particular option to a particular value. (It might be handy to export the options first, so that you know what each option is named, and what type of value is expected.):
```
wp litespeed-option set cache-priv false
```
import configures LSCache according to the options in a specified file:
```
wp litespeed-option import options.txt
```

Purge Commands

Use litespeed-purge plus these commands to purge specific entries from the cache.

network_list displays all of the site domains and IDs in a table:
```
wp litespeed-purge network_list
```
all purges all cache entries associated with the WordPress installation. For networks, purges all cache entries for every site in the network:
```
wp litespeed-purge all
```
blog purges all cache entries for a particular blog ID. For example, in a multisite install, purge only the shop.example.com cache (stored as blog id 2):
```
wp litespeed-purge blog 2
```
tag purges the listed WordPress tags by ID. For example, purge the tag IDs 1, 3, and 5:
```
wp litespeed-purge tag 1 3 5
```
category purges the listed WordPress categories by ID. For example, purge the category ids 1, 3, and 5:
```
wp litespeed-purge category 1 3 5
```
post_id purges all cache tags related to the listed WordPress Posts or Products by ID. For example, purge the post ids 1, 3, and 5:
```
wp litespeed-purge post_id 1 3 5
```
