Question

How to use WP-CLI in GUI in Plesk WordPress Toolkit?

Answer

Log into Plesk
Navigate to Domains > example.com > WordPress menu, and press on WP-CLI button, like on screenshot below:

The following menu/drawer should appear. You may execute commands in one of the following ways:

a) click on the input field and select suggested commands, and then select the sub-commands till you reach the last sub-command, and it will ask you to provide the arguments for it;

b) write the whole command with arguments manually.

While you are writing something in the input field, it filters the list of available commands/sub-commands.

Also, WP Toolkit imitates the shell autocompletion and provides ability to navigate between commands via arrow buttons, supported buttons: enter and space (autocomplete selected command name), arrow up/down and page up/down to select the command from the filtered dropdown menu, backspace to remove the last selected command.

Additionally, you can find useful buttons:

to clear the arguments input;
to enable/disable autoscrolling;
to enable/disable autoclear before executing a command.
