Hi there,
if I run a command like wp post-type list I have ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ which are listed but when I run wp post list --post_type=topic the table remains empty , is this normal?
Thanks for your help!
Ludovic

from your example, you haven’t said what you want the cli to output

eg

$ wp post list –post_type=topic –fields=post_title,post_status

or

$ wp post list –post_type=topic,post –format=ids

see examples in

wp post list

Hi Robin,
thank you for your reply.

For your reference, wp-cli commands often (if not all) have default outputs and they do not need to be explicitly declared unless particular outputs are expected.

Here is a list of all post types available on my WordPress installation:

As you can see, I have a custom post type named ‘sfwd-lessons’ so if I run the command wp post list --post_type=sfwd-lessons I have all these custom posts which are listed with the default outputs:

But when i’m trying wp post list --post_type=topic the output is empty:

Have you really tried it on your end?

Warm regards,

Sorry, I am not a bbpress author, just someone who tries to help out here – I don’t always succeed.

I’ve never tried or used CLI

Hope you find a solution

found this on googling ‘wp cli bbpress’

It’s odd that bbPress’s WP-CLI commands are being developed as a separate package, keenly that the authors are interested in it, thank you!
