Download and insert salt string inside wordpress wp-config.php with Bash

Question

How can I insert the content of the variable $SALT in a specific point (line or string) of a file like wp-contet.php from wordpress using Bash script?

Answer 1

I built a simple CLI for just that. Try it out. It's called [WP-Salts-Update-CLI][1].

WP-Salts-Update-CLI

WPSUCLI downloads new salts from the WP API and replaces them with the ones in your wp-config.php file for every site on your server.

⚡️ Installation

Open command line terminal (I prefer iTerm2) and run the following command.

bash sudo wget -qO wpsucli https://git.io/vykgu && sudo chmod +x ./wpsucli && sudo install ./wpsucli /usr/local/bin/wpsucli

This command will perform the following actions:

• Use sudo permissions
• Use wget to download WPSUCLI and rename it to wpsucli
• Make the wpsucli executable
• Install wpsucli inside /usr/local/bin/ folder.
