    The link to the documentation is broken, maybe it should be this:

    https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/cli-linux/using-command-line-utilities/wptoolkit-wordpress-toolkit.78685/

    For some reason, WP CLI import command [https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/import/] does not work. It is giving the error WordPress Importer needs to be activated. Try 'wp plugin activate wordpress-importer'.

    Is this a feature that hasn't been implemented?

    Hello @George Georgopoulos,

    The "plesk ext wp-toolkit --wp-cli" utility is not a full replacement of native "wp" utility

    It has limited functionality and "import" is not supported Plesk "wp-cli" command

    Hi Support Plesk,

    I want to know if Plesk + WP-CLI is working well?

    Can Plesk + WP-CLI + SSH be used by customers?

    If the customers with SSH rights executes the WP-CLI command, will it affect security, is the data of other customers on the same server separate from each other?

    Hi,

    I can see that you got an answer to your question in a support ticket.

    Anyway, let me answer it here for others: WP-CLI utility can be run only by administrator of the server, in other words by root user.

    Hi, I'm trying to regenerate media and I thought the command media was available in WP-CLI...

     

    plesk ext wp-toolkit --wp-cli -instance-id 2 -path /var/www/vhosts/xxx/httpdocs -- media regenerate --yes

     

    not working for me... tried even to install wp-cli.phar

     

    I really need to regenerate thumbnails, if command is not available how do I go about making a complete WP-CLI installation on Plesk? I also would like to use Smush, Media Cleaner and others with WP-CLI...

     

    thanks

    Hello Project Aspen,

    > not working for me... tried even to install wp-cli.phar

    Was there any error displayed?

    Have you used commands like described here to install wp-cli.phar?
