FAQ
-
What are the requirements for SnapShots
-
You need WP CLI installed (at least version 2.2) and PHP must be able to execute external programs with PHPs
exec
-
Does it work without WP CLI?
-
No, WP CLI is essential here and SnapShots will not work without it. You will not be able to activate the plugin without the addon.
-
Does it work with “Local”
-
Yes, the plugin has been tested with the amazing tool from WPEngine and works out of the box.
-
Snapshots requires the php in your PATH environment!
-
SnapShots tries to find the
php
binary on your system. If it can’t find it, you will get this error. You can define the location of yourphp
binary by open your terminal and running`
dirname $(which php)
`This returns the directory of your php binary. Use this location to define the constant
SNAPSHOTS_PHP_PATH
in yourwp-config.php
file. For example:`
define( ‘SNAPSHOTS_PHP_PATH’, ‘/usr/local/bin’ );
`Don’t include the
php
binary in the path! -
Your Home URLs do not match
-
Snapshots checks if the home URL of your site matches the one from
wp option get home
. If they are not equal it often that theDB_HOST
variable is not defined correctly. This also happens if you use a socket for your MySql connection (Local WP).Update your DB_HOST variable in your
wp-config.php
file to something like this:`
define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost:/tmp/ysql/mysqld.sock’ );
`This should not affect the regular usage of your site. If you encounter any problems, You can wrap the statement like so:
`
if ( defined( ‘WP_CLI’ ) && WP_CLI ) {
define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost:/tmp/ysql/mysqld.sock’ );
}else{
define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );
}
` -
Snapshots requires the “exec” method!
-
SnapShots uses the PHP
exec
method to execute the WP CLI commands.`
-
Snapshots requires WP-CLI!
-
SnapShots requires the WP-CLI to be installed on your system. Please install it and make sure it is available in your
