A new release of WP-CLI, **WP-CLI v2.12.0**, is now available. For this release, we had **68 contributors** collaborate to get **382 pull requests** merged.
As always, big thanks to the [WP-CLI sponsors](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/sponsors/) that make the continued maintenance possible.
This release includes numerous bug fixes and compatibility improvements, but we still could teach WP-CLI a few new tricks which I’ll highlight below. As always, you can also skip directly to the [detailed changelog](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2025/05/07/wp-cli-v2-12-0-release-notes/#changelog) if you prefer.
If you already use WP-CLI, updating is as simple as `wp cli update`. Else, check out our website for [recommended installation methods](https://wp-cli.org/#installing).
##### Pluck & patch commands for caches and transients
The `cache` and `transient` commands have now also learned the subtle art of plucking and patching. This means that you can directly manipulate individual entries in an array of values that these commands let you manage.
Here’s an example of how such an operation can look and how it compare to the regular cache/transient operations:
```
# Transient structure
# 'some_key' => ['foo' => ['bar' => 'baz']]
# Retrieve the transient value
$ wp transient get some_key --format=json
{'foo':{'bar':'baz'}}
# Retrieve the value of the foo => bar subkey
$ wp transient pluck some_key foo bar
baz
# Replace baz with bazzer
$ wp transient patch update some_key foo bar bazzer
Success: Updated transient 'some_key'.
```
##### Post lists can now handle complex query flags
When using `post list`, you can now use JSON notation to provide complex query arguments to the `--tax_query`, `--meta_query` and `--post_date` fields.
```
$ wp post list --field=post_title --date_query='{"before":{"year":"2024"}}
+--------------------------+
| post_title |
+--------------------------+
| My year in review - 2021 |
| My year in review - 2022 |
| My year in review - 2023 |
+--------------------------+
$ wp post list --field=post_title --tax_query='[{"taxonomy":"category","field":"slug","terms":"first-category"}]'
...
$ wp post list --field=post_title --meta_query='[{"key":"key2","value":"value2b"}]'
...
```
##### Post meta can be forced to only return a single value
The `post meta get` command now has a `--single` flag defaulting to `true` which can be negated with `--no-single`. This flag tells WordPress whether to only return a single value or all existing values for a given key.
```
# Create a post meta key for post with ID 123 that has multiple values
$ wp post meta add 123 my_meta_key value_1
$ wp post meta add 123 my_meta_key value_2
$ wp post meta add 123 my_meta_key value_4
# Retrieve a single value
$ wp post meta get 123 my_meta_key --single
value_1
# Retrieve all values
$ wp post meta get 123 my_meta_key --no-single --format=json
["value_1","value_2","value_3"]
```
##### Exclude files on `core checksum` verification
When running a `core checksum` verification, you can exclude one or more files from the checksum verification with the new `--exclude=<files>` flag, which takes a comma-separated list of filepaths relative to the current root.
```
# Make a change to the README file in the WordPress core root folder
$ echo "nonsense" > readme.html
# Run the core checksum verification
$ wp core verify-checksums --exclude='readme.html'
Success: WordPress installation verifies against checksums.
```
##### Respect `requires` and `requires_php` tags for plugins and themes
The plugin and theme commands now understand and respect the `requires` and `requires_php` header tags when trying ot install or update extensions. A new state `unavailable` has been introduced to denote the updates that are newer that your current installation but for which your site does not fulfill the requirements.
This also adds new fields `requires` and `requires_php` which are displayed if they contain relevant information and otherwise hidden by default.
```
$ wp plugin list
+----------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------------+----------+--------------+
| name | status | update | version | update_version | auto_update | requires | requires_php |
+----------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------------+----------+--------------+
| akismet | inactive | available | 5.1 | 5.3.5 | off | 5.8 | 5.6.20 |
| edit-flow | inactive | none | 0.9.9 | | off | 6.0 | 8.0 |
| wp-super-cache | inactive | unavailable | 1.9.4 | 1.12.4 | off | 6.5 | 7.0 |
+----------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------------+----------+--------------+
$ wp plugin update wp-super-cache
Warning: wp-super-cache: This update requires WordPress version 6.5, but the version installed is 6.2.
Error: No plugins updated.
```
##### More control over `make-json` generation
The `make-json` command was made more powerful again. You can not only set a custom text domain to be used, you can also define the file extension to parse.
```
# Use a custom text domain
$ wp i18n make-json foo-theme --domain=my-custom-domain
Success: Created 1 file.
# Include typescript files
$ wp i18n make-json foo-theme --extensions=".ts, .tsx"
Success: Created 2 files.
```
##### Force update checks on `plugin|theme list`
You can now force an update check to be triggered when displaying the list of plugins or themes to ensure you get fresh data to process.
```
# Forcefully run an update check and display results
$ wp plugin list --fields=name,status,update --force-check
+-------------+----------+--------+
| name | status | update |
+-------------+----------+--------+
| hello-dolly | inactive | none |
+-------------+----------+--------+
```
##### PHP 8.4 Compatiblity
WP-CLI is now fully compatible with PHP 8.4. This has required quite a bit of trickery and hacks to maintain compatibility with our current minimum of PHP 5.6+ at the same time. With the next release, we’ll bump the minimum PHP version to 7.2.24+, which will allow us to get rid of all these workarounds again.
