Installing

Installation as a WP-CLI package

Installing this package requires WP-CLI v0.23.0 or greater. Update to the latest stable release with wp cli update.

Once you’ve done so, you can install this package with wp package install itspriddle/wp-cli-tgmpa-plugin

Manual installation

Save command.php. For a system-wide installation, add the following to ~/.wp-cli/config.yml; to install just for a single WordPress blog add it to wp-cli.yml or wp-cli.local.yml in the root of your project:

require:
  - /path/to/command.php

Note that you should add to the require array if you already have one present, eg:

require:
  - /some/file/i/already/have.php
  - /path/to/command.php

You can also pass the --require flag when calling wp tgmpa-plugin, eg:

wp --require=/path/to/command.php tgmpa-plugin

Verify installation

In the root of your blog, run wp tgmpa-plugin info to verify that the TGM_Plugin_Activation class is loaded. You should see output similar to this:

wp-cli-tgmpa-plugin version:    0.1.0
TGM_Plugin_Activation version:  2.5.2
TGM_Plugin_Activation location: /var/www/wordpress/public/wp-content/themes/footheme/includes/plugins/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php
Plugins registered:             2

See Troubleshooting for things to check if you see Error: TGM_Plugin_Activation not loaded!

procedure will be run. Note that deletions affect only the files added to
`WP_PLUGIN_DIR` and not bundled files used by TGMPA itself.

Troubleshooting

If the TGM_Plugin_Activation class is not loaded your theme or plugin may be using is_admin() to determine whether or not to load the class. To work around this, you can set WP_ADMIN=true environment variable when running tgmpa-plugin commands. Try the following to see if the class loads:

WP_ADMIN=true wp tgmpa-plugin info

If that doesn’t work, some themes also check your user account for admin privileges. You can try the above along with using the --user= flag with a valid admin user:

WP_ADMIN=true wp tgmpa-plugin info --user=josh

If all else fails, you can open an issue. Please include a link to the theme or plugin as well as the commands you are trying or any pertinent error messages you see.
