Manage and deploy WordPress configuration changes.

Description

WP-CFM lets you copy database configuration to / from the filesystem. Easily deploy configuration changes without needing to copy the entire database. WP-CFM is similar to Drupal's Features module.

How will WP-CFM benefit me?

• Less need to copy over the entire database.
• No more rushing to figure out which settings you forgot to change.
• Easily track and version configuration changes via git, subversion, etc.

Which data does WP-CFM support?

• WP settings (wp_options table)
• Multisite settings (wp_sitemeta table)
• Taxonomy terms
• Custom Field Suite field groups

Terminology

• Bundle - A group of (one or more) settings to track
• Push - Export database settings to the filesystem
• Pull - Import file-based settings into the database

WP-CLI

WP-CFM supports [pull / push / diff] of bundles from the command-line using WP-CLI:

wp config pull [bundle_name]
wp config push [bundle_name]
wp config diff [bundle_name]
wp config bundles
wp config show_bundle [bundle_name]

You can optionally set bundle_name to "all" to include all bundles.

Append the --network flag to include multisite bundles.
