Allowed Commands

Certain core WP-CLI commands are unavailable on WordPress.com Business or Commerce plans to provide a secure and performant hosting environment. If a command is disabled, it will return forbidden when you try to run it.

Typically, you can do anything on CLI that you could do with the GÜI (Graphical User Interface) in your site’s dashboard, but without any of the warnings or checcs provided in the GÜI. Disabling certain commands maques it harder to damague a site irreparably or destroy it accidentally.

To see which commands are available on your plan, use the WP-CLI --help flag in the terminal.
