WP CLI: --skip-plugins

A few notes on skipping plugins with wp-cli.

Suppose you want to skip all except one, DONTSKIP:

wp user list --skip-plugins=$(wp plugin list --field=name | grep -v ^DONTSKIP$ | tr  '\n' ',')

If this will be repeated, you’d benefit from saving the ‘skip-list’ to a text file instead of running the nested command each time. This also allows you to update the skip-list relatively easily, if you don’t mind tighly squeezed comma-separated lists.

wp plugin list --field=name | grep -v ^DONTSKIP$ | tr  '\n' ',' > skipplugins.txt
wp user list --skip-plugins=`cat skipplugins.txt`

If it’s a permanent skip-list, save the keystrokes and processes by putting it in a config file (different options depending on how global you want that change: http://wp-cli.org/config/)

 #~/.wp-cli/config.yml
skip-plugins:
 - skip-me
 - skip-me-too
