Hi there!
It sounds like you want to change some WordPress settings via WP-CLI.
You can change many settings via wp option:
https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/option/
wp option list will show you all the settings you can change with this command.
If there’s is a specific setting you need assistance with, please provide a detailed description of what you are trying to modify.
I was pretty sure I explicitly said I was looking to change the dashboard screen options, as in, the drop down from the top that has checkboxes to show/hide the various items on the dashboard. Dunno why it doesn’t say that now, so obviously I misremembered.
I’ve gone through the entire list of wp cli commands and the database fields and can’t find this information. The Options subcommand doesn’t cover it.
Try checking under:
wp user meta list <user>
Those choices show up in metaboxhidden_dashboard.
https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/user/meta/
As I mentioned, I’ve perused the wp-cli settings pretty carefully. Checked again, and nothing under “wp user meta list” includes settings for what are apparently called meta boxes.
It’s not clear where metaboxhidden_dashboard is; I don’t see it in the database or the wp cli functions.
