WP Toolkit - Product News

I might be able to run through all product news posts, but maybe there is a simple answer to a simple question : is the wc cli now (fully or partially) functional through the (wp) cli utilities?

Kind regards...

@trialotto It's not added yet, but the team is looking into adding wc-cli support as we speak. If it's easy to support, we'll add it in the upcoming major release. I'll keep you posted.

Hi everyone, WP Toolkit v6.9 is now available! Changelog:

6.9.0 (12 Nov 2025)​

• [+] (cPanel)(Gradual rollout) WP Toolkit's WordPress plugin responsible for protecting sites with Vulnerability Protection now also provides GUI for accessing certain WP Toolkit functionality inside WordPress admin dashboard. This GUI is now available on cPanel servers:
  • Site admins can access vulnerability information directly inside the plugin GUI. More features will be added in the next plugin updates
  • The plugin now detects when plugins and themes are installed or updated directly through WordPress, so it will apply mitigation strategies immediately
  • To enable GUI on the existing plugin installations, add the following lines to config.ini file:
    • integrationPluginApi = true
      • integrationPluginUiModuleEnabled = true
    • integrationPluginEventModuleEnabled = true
  • To give site administrators the opportunity to install the plugin, add integrationPluginPromo = true to config.ini file
  • To install the plugin on all new WordPress installations automatically, add installIntegrationPluginToNewSites = true line to config.ini file
    • Set this option to false if you want to disable this behavior before it becomes default in the subsequent WP Toolkit updates
• [+] Backups made in WP Toolkit v6.9 and newer can be easily restored on different servers and even platforms (from Plesk to cPanel and the other way around). To restore a backup made on another domain or server:
  • Create a new WordPress site on the target domain
  • Upload the backup
  • Make sure the Hide backups from other domains option is off
  • Find your backup in the list and restore it. Relevant paths and URLs will be updated automatically during the restoration process
• [+] (Plesk) Added official support for Debian 12 and Debian 13 OSes
• [+] (Gradual rollout) Issues menu in the site card header was split into several categories for better visibility of issues and easier access

• [+] Vulnerability protection rules are now applied to ignored low-risk vulnerabilities
• [+] WP Toolkit now properly supports cloning and copying data between WordPress installations that use Redis Object Cache plugin
