[![Testing](https://github.com/wp-cli/doctor-command/actions/workflows/testing.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/wp-cli/doctor-command/actions/workflows/testing.yml) Quick links: [Overview](#overview) | [Using](#using) | [Installing](#installing) | [Contributing](#contributing) Overview -------- [](#overview) `wp doctor` lets you easily run a series of configurable checks to diagnose what's ailing with WordPress. Without `wp doctor`, your team has to rely on their memory to manually debug problems. With `wp doctor`, your team saves hours identifying the health of your WordPress installs by codifying diagnosis procedures as a series of checks to run with WP-CLI. `wp doctor` [comes with dozens of checks out of the box](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/doctor/doctor-default-checks/), and [supports customized `doctor.yml` files](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/doctor/doctor-customize-config/) to define the checks that are most important to you. Each check includes a name, status (either "success", "warning", or "error"), and a human-readable message. For example, `cron-count` is a check to ensure WP Cron hasn't exploded with jobs: ``` $ wp doctor check cron-count +------------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | name | status | message | +------------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | cron-count | success | Total number of cron jobs is within normal operating expectations. | +------------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ ``` Want to pipe the results into another system? Use `--format=json` or `--format=csv` to render checks in a machine-readable format. `wp doctor` is designed for extensibility. Create a custom `doctor.yml` file to define additional checks you deem necessary for your system: ``` plugin-w3-total-cache: check: Plugin_Status options: name: w3-total-cache status: uninstalled ``` Then, run the custom `doctor.yml` file using the `--config=` parameter: ``` $ wp doctor check --fields=name,status --all --config=doctor.yml +-----------------------+--------+ | name | status | +-----------------------+--------+ | plugin-w3-total-cache | error | +-----------------------+--------+ ``` Running all checks together, `wp doctor` is the fastest way to get a high-level overview to the health of your WordPress installs.
