How to manage Novashare using WP-CLI (command line)

WP-CLI is a powerful command tool that can help streamline your workflow by enabling you to manage plugins and themes from the command line. Typically, it’s used by more advanced users or those responsible for working on a large number of sites, for example, a developer at an agency or a freelancer. 

You can use WP-CLI along with Novashare to perform basic everyday tasks, and we’ll keep expanding support over time. Below are the current commands we support.
