Viewing page content using WP-CLI

WP-CLI allows you to maintain the content of your WordPress websites directly from the command line, as an alternative to the control panel.

To view the content of a page using the command line, the wp post get command, in WP-CLI, we recommend that you follow the instructions below.

First, you need to find the Page ID. You can use this ID to identify and manipulate any Page in the WP-CLI.

Once you find the Page ID, use the wp post get subcommand to find the content of a particular Page.

Next, to view the content of the Page, follow the steps:

- Log in to the server via SSH with the cPanel user under which the website you want to work on is running.

- Use the cd command to move to the root folder of your website.

cd public_html/wp

Replace public_html/wp with the real path to the root folder of your website.


Execute the following command:

wp post get ## –field=post_content

Replace ## with the actual ID of the Page you are working on.

The command will return an output similar to:

[email protected] [~/public_html/wp]# wp post get 42 --field=post_content ...
