Install ------- [](#install) Install it as a [WP CLI package](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/package/install/): ``` wp package install wpsh/wp-cli-replicator ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Export Content [](#export-content) Export content from the source site: 1. Use the [WordPress Importer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/) plugin or the [`wp export` command](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/export/) to export the site content. 2. Use the [WP Options Importer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/options-importer/) plugin to export the site options. The output should be a single `options.json` file. ### Prepare Import [](#prepare-import) 1. Parse the exported [WordPress eXtended RSS or WXR](https://codex.wordpress.org/Tools_Export_Screen) into JSON files for site users, terms and posts: ``` wp replicator parse-wxr path/to/wxr/directory ``` where `path/to/wxr/directory` is the path to the directory with all the XML files. All XML files `path/to/wxr/files/*.xml` are parsed and stored in the `path/to/wxr/directory/json` directory -- `users.json`, `terms.json` and `posts-*.json`. ### Import Content [](#import-content) Please note that you may need to specify `--url` for all commands if you're running WordPress multisite. 1. Empty the site content where you want to import the content: ``` wp site empty --yes ``` 2. Import options: ``` wp replicator import-options "path/to/options.json" ``` where `path/to/options.json` is the path to the exported options. 3. Import users: ``` wp replicator import-users "path/to/users.json" ``` where `path/to/users.json` is the path the user list generated from the XML export. All existing users with the same login name will be deleted and new users created with a random password because WordPress export doesn't include the passwords. All users will need to reset their passwords. Use `wp user update USERNAME --user_pass="YOURNEWPASSWORD"` to update a password for a specific user. 4. Import taxonomies and terms: ``` wp replicator import-terms "path/to/terms.json" ``` where `path/to/terms.json` is the path the term list generated from the XML export. 5. Import posts: ``` wp replicator import-posts "path/to/json" ``` where `path/to/json` is the path to the directory with all `post-*.json` files.
