It is returning the first 60 lines of the source code of the referenced site. Just the WordPress code for the site you’d see if you ‘view source’ when you’re at the site.

In reply to: what happens if I delete dot cache folders?First place I went. Like much of the wp-cli documentation, it is superficial, merely stating the obvious.

In reply to: what happens if I delete dot cache folders?What creates these cache files? What will recreate them and when will they be recreated, should I choose to delete them?
Can we drop the commentary on hosting? It’s not helpful.

In reply to: what happens if I delete dot cache folders?The answer, if I am reading your response correctly, is that it won’t break anything, but won’t solve the “wp cli is using 1/4 of our hosting space” problem because it will grow back when I run client updates tonight.
To the hosting space point: most hosting providers provide nothing BUT space, no actual support of any kind. The small family owned hosting company I use provides the very best technical and customer service I have experienced in my 50 years of working with computers, even on these $52/year accounts. So moving to some all-you-can-eat buffet of cheapness, or spending 5x as much for some specialty house, is not the solution. I may, however, pay the $15/year/client to upgrade all my clients’ hosting so I’m paying for wp-cli instead of them.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp cli verify-checksums flagging apparently valid filesI have finally found an old old thread which, even then, refers to these files as “ancient but for backward compatibility.”
The tool should either flag them as unnecessary or not flag them at all. If all the updates over the past 10+ years haven’t removed them, the tool should take that into account and, perhaps, flag them as “deprecated, can be safely deleted.”
Off to 1) delete them from my installs and 2) create a pull request for said change.

In reply to: wp cli verify-checksums flagging apparently valid filesFor me, the false positives are the entire issue. Is the tool at fault? Is it my configuration or use of the tool?
Automation means never having to chase false positives, eh?

In reply to: understanding wp doctor custom input fileContinued persistent searching led me to this answer:
makes sense, yes. thanks!

In reply to: wp core is-installed returns blankD’oh. It certainly does. Thank you.
(I plead 40+ doctor’s visits and multiple ER and hospital visits in the past year impinging upon my cognitive abilities.)
Bingo.
Added the
config.ymlfile and used the--hardoption, and it’s perfect.Thanks muchly, @andrewserong
Apologies for leaving this out: the trailing slash isn’t the issue; I have used both commands with and without, but the issue absolutely occurs when the trailing slash is used.
As I said in the original post, the URLs involved never change, they simply go from 404 to working. As in, the URLs are identical in every way, including trailing slashes.

In reply to: database shown in phpMyAdmin not listed by mysql cliapologies; I didn’t mean to sound like a jerk. I did sound like one, but I didn’t mean to.
I’ve been hammering at this for months, and every time I think I’m one step away, I’m only one step away from the next problem.
this seemed like such a straightforward issue: I know I’m running multiple instances, it’s obvious from the symptoms. shouldn’t there be an easy way to determine which is what? I am a master googler, yet I can find no existing answer, and no one seems to even have a guess.

In reply to: database shown in phpMyAdmin not listed by mysql cliI would love to identify which instance I’m running in each of the two places, since that is obviously what’s happening, but I don’t see how checking the status of MySQL, showing that it is up and running, tells me which instance is which.
According to the wp-cli docs, it logs in using the credentials in wp-config.php which are the same credentials being used by phpMyAdmin and MySQL Workbench. This makes it quite difficult to identify where, how, why, and what different instance is being run at the command line.
I’m here because my identical post on the MySQL forum has gone unanswered; that forum doesn’t seem to be very active.
Having 40+ years of database experience, I don’t need help with basic commands, I need a specific answer to my exact question.

In reply to: shortcode fails in input field id but works elsewhereTa daa. Thanks muchly. Will research kses.
Note: because this seems to be a day where everyone skips over little assumptions:
You have to add this element first for this to work.
By “this element” you mean “the input element”
By “add” you mean “add to what kses allows”
And the whole batch goes in functions.php
Though it’s hard to tell if by “add this . . . first” if it needs to be added to functions.php above/before the shortcode, or simply “do this, then it’ll work.”Not trying to be a jerk. Just having a difficult time getting folks to write clear coherent responses to what I believe are clear coherent queries. Your answer is correct, but someone with a tiny bit less information and experience would be back here asking for clarification, perhaps multiple rounds of it.
Again, thanks for the perfect solution, and a research project that’ll deepen my understanding of this stuff.
