WP-CLI

Blaze includes WP-CLI out of the box — no separate installation needed. Use it to manage plugins, themes, users, databases, and more from an interactive terminal inside the app.

Using the Terminal

1. Open a site from the sidebar
2. Start the site — the WP-CLI terminal requires the site to be running (MariaDB must be active for most commands)
3. Click the “WP CLI” tab in the site detail view
4. Type any WP-CLI command and press Enter

The terminal automatically uses the correct PHP version configured for your site. Output auto-scrolls as new results appear.

Common Commands Guide

The terminal includes a built-in Common Commands panel with clickable shortcuts for frequently used commands. Click any command chip to populate the input field. You can dismiss the panel with the X button and bring it back by clicking the book icon next to the input field.

Memory Limit

Blaze sets the WP-CLI memory limit to 1 GB by default, so large operations like imports and search-replace work without running out of memory.
