Snippets

The snippets command group lets you version-control PHP snippets as plain files in Git. Each snippet is stored as a .php file in a local directory that you commit like any other code.

Supports the Code Snippets plugin (default) and WPCode.

Typical workflow

# 1. Download existing snippets from WordPress
lps snippets pull

# 2. Edit locally, commit to Git
git add snippets/ && git commit -m "feat: update price formatter snippet"

# 3. Deploy back to WordPress
lps snippets push

Commands

lps snippets pull

Download all snippets from WordPress and write them as .php files.

lps snippets pull [path]

Argument	Default	Description
path	./snippets	Local directory where snippets are written

Flag	Description
--dryRun / -d	Show what would be written without touching the filesystem
--force / -f	Overwrite existing local files
--plugin / -p	Target plugin: code-snippets (default) or wpcode

Example:

lps snippets pull ./wp-snippets --dryRun
lps snippets pull --plugin wpcode

---

lps snippets push

Upload .php files from a local directory to WordPress. If a snippet with the same name already exists it is updated; otherwise a new snippet is created.

lps snippets push [path]

Argument	Default	Description
path	./snippets	Local directory to read .php files from

Flag	Description
--dryRun / -d	Show what would be pushed without making any changes
--plugin / -p	Target plugin: code-snippets (default) or wpcode

Example:

lps snippets push ./wp-snippets
lps snippets push --plugin wpcode

---

lps snippets list

Print all snippets currently on WordPress.

lps snippets list

Flag	Description
--json / -j	Output raw JSON instead of formatted text
--plugin / -p	Target plugin: code-snippets (default) or wpcode

Example output:

Found 3 snippets:

  1. price-formatter
     Active: ✓
     Tags: cli-import
     Description: Formats WooCommerce prices

  2. redirect-homepage
     Active: ✗

File format

Each snippet is stored as a plain .php file named after the snippet. The filename (without extension) becomes the snippet name in WordPress.

snippets/
  price-formatter.php
  redirect-homepage.php
  custom-login-logo.php

WPCode support

To target WPCode instead of Code Snippets, pass --plugin wpcode to any command. The Loopress plugin must be installed and active on your WordPress site for this to work; it exposes the REST endpoint that the CLI uses.

lps snippets pull --plugin wpcode
lps snippets push --plugin wpcode
