Manage salts for your WordPress installation

Output salts to STDOUT
----------------------

[](#output-salts-to-stdout)

```
wp salts generate # defaults to --format=php
wp salts generate --format=env
wp salts generate --format=yaml
```

This will grab new salts from the [WordPress Salt API](https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/) and output it to the `STDOUT`

Output salts to a file
----------------------

[](#output-salts-to-a-file)

### PHP file

[](#php-file)

```
wp salts generate --file=/absolute/path/to/file.php
```

This will output the salts to a file. Because the file contains the complete `define()` code the salts will be set by a simple `require` somewhere in your wp-config.php

### Environment variable file

[](#environment-variable-file)

```
wp salts generate --file=/absolute/path/to/.env
```

This will output the salts as shell environment variables (`MY_VAR=VALUE`). Useful for projects that [load configurations from .env files](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv).

### Yaml config file

[](#yaml-config-file)

```
wp salts generate --file=/absolute/path/to/file.yaml
```

This will output the salts as [Yaml](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) config file.

Other examples
--------------

[](#other-examples)

Generally the file format can be desumed from file name / extension. However one can enforce Yaml format when it can't be detected automatically

```
wp salts generate --format=yaml --my.config
```

One could also append want to append some custom WordPress salts, such as `WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT` used by [Memcached Object Cache](https://github.com/Automattic/wp-memcached/blob/master/object-cache.php), [WP Redis](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wp-redis/blob/c99e1e850ab28453d0fceac7d621dfbad94d1f0b/object-cache.php) and other plugins:

```
wp salts generate --format=env --append=WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT,OTHER_USEFUL_SALT
