ss install wordpress hovercraft
This command will install or reinstall the free HoverCraft theme, latest version directly from GitHub. This is sometimes useful in case you are trying to rapidly reinstall it several times, and the GitHub access window is limiting you, or Git Updater cache has not refreshed yet, etc. Most of the time you shouldn’t need to […]
ss install wordpress cli
This command will reinstall WP-CLI from their own mirrors, which means it will always be the latest official stable version. It will install not only the .phar file but also the required configuration files that SlickStack uses to slightly customize WP-CLI for our purposes. There is not a separate command for installing the WP-CLI config, […]
ss push staging
Runs the associated bash script to push all content and database from the staging site (staging.example.com) to the production site. Keep in mind that SlickStack shares the same /uploads/ folder between production and staging sites to save disk space and improve efficiency, so when you “push” the staging site live, it will skip syncing that […]
ss import database
This command will import a database dump file /tmp/import.sql if it exists, otherwise /tmp/import.sql.zip or /tmp/import.sql.gz if those exist. It will overwrite the ENTIRE production database on your SlickStack server so be sure you backup your database (download it manually or remotely save it somewhere) before running this command. All previous data in your database […]
ss cron custom minutely
Runs whatever tasks/code you have manually added to the custom cron file of the minutely interval which can be found in the directory /var/www/crons/custom/ Routine runs /var/www/crons/custom/01-cron-minutely-custom Alias Commands ss cron custom minutely ss cron custom 01
ss cron minutely
Runs the corresponding bash script which is hardcoded into the root crontab on SlickStack servers to run 1x per minute. In turn, various tasks exist that are critical functions of SlickStack, and you can add custom tasks using the custom cron file of the same interval name. Routine runs /var/www/crons/01-cron-minutely Alias Commands ss cron minutely […]
ss sync development
This command runs the associated bash script and syncs files/database from production to your dev site. It will overwrite all files/database on the dev site, so be very careful… if you wish to save your previous dev site, you should back up that data and save it somewhere (remotely or locally) before running this command. […]
ss perms
Routine Runs the /var/www/ss-perms bash script Description One of the secret weapons of SlickStack is this script, which resets file and user permissions across your entire SlickStack LEMP stack server in one command. There is nothing really like it on any other configuration management scripts, because most other software is open-ended, whereas SlickStack can do […]
Pushing Staging to Production
After several years of discussion and careful thought, SlickStack decided to not provide any function or script for developers to push staging sites live to the production site. The reasons for this are several… Firstly, we believe that staging sites should be for temporary testing of new features, and not for long-term redesign work (that’s […]
ss push development
Runs the associated bash script which will push both the database and entire /wp-content/ file structure from your dev site (subdomain) to your main production site. Keep in mind that, in an effort to avoid accidental data loss, the existing production database and production files will not be deleted first. In other words, the dev […]
