Do you manage lots of WordPress sites?

UpdraftCentral is an ideal way of controlling all your WordPress installs, backups and updates from one dashboard.

But we recognise that some of our advanced users and coders like to use WP CLI. The command-line interface (CLI) has always been popular in the world of developers because it provides tools that boost productivity and speed up the development process For those who don’t know, CLI stands for Command-Line Interface. It enables users to carry out all kinds of actions you might perform in the WordPress Admin (or UpdraftCentral)-for example, updating plugins and configuring multiple installs- but without using a web browser.
