    just for better search visibility we are adding this thread… please note that SlickStack customizes WP-CLI to have the following environment flags:

    @dev, @development, @staging, @prod, @production, @both, and @all

    mentioned here:

    Commands

    By default, our WP-CLI implementation will target the production site. However, you can use the environment aliases @dev, @development, @staging, @prod, @production to target a specific SlickStack environment(s) if desired.

    You can also use @both to target both staging and production, and @all to target all three of these environments (note that, you must first enable dev/staging sites in your ss-config).

    simply add these @ flags to your wp commands to target the desired environment!

    What if you don’t specify the @ environment in SlickStack for wp commands?

    What if you don’t specify the @ environment in SlickStack

    SlickStack default is:

    path: /var/www/html
url: https://@SITE_FULL_DOMAIN

    in the /var/www/meta/wp-cli.yml config file.

    This means the production site will be targeted by default, and for Multisite, the main site will be targeted by default.
