WPC-CLI v1.1.2 released

WPC-CLI just got a fresh update. With version 1.1.2, you can now manage themes as easily as plugins. This includes creation, build, and deployment all from your terminal. This release also adds new flexibility when building archives and automating release processes.

What’s new in v1.1.2

Here’s what’s included in this version:

  • Theme support: You can now create, build, and push themes with the same commands used for plugins. Perfect for automating starter theme updates.
  • ⚙️ Default values from current profile: The CLI now retrieves your active profile info when creating a plugin or theme, reducing redundant prompts.
  • 🛠️ Build command improvements:
    • You can override specific plugin/theme headers via CLI flags.
    • A new --clean option removes the generated zip archive after pushing, keeping your workspace clean.
  • 🐛 Bugfix: You can now build and push even without providing release notes.

Why theme support matters in the CLI

Just like with plugins, having CLI access to your themes means faster iterations, cleaner workflows, and full automation potential. Whether you’re maintaining a custom starter or shipping child themes for multiple projects, the ability to build and push them from the terminal removes a lot of friction.

You can now:

  • Scaffold a theme in seconds with wpc theme:start
  • Build a production-ready zip with wpc theme:build
  • Deploy it directly from your pipeline or local machine using wpc theme:push

No need to duplicate code, rename files manually, or upload archives through the admin. It’s all scriptable and consistent.

How to update

There’s no self-update yet so if you’re already using WPC-CLI, follow the steps in the documentation: https://docs.wp-content.io/cli/

Enjoy the update and keep building!
