Option for importing and exporting settings in wp-cli

rmens commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When deploying a large amount of WordPress sites, it's a pain to go one by one to update or load settings. Making a preset and importing it while deploying would be useful.

Describe the solution you'd like

The option to import and export settings via a wp-cli command.

Why do you think this feature is something we should consider for the Yoast SEO plugins?

It makes the plugin appeal more to 'enterprise' usage.

Additional context

I work for a publisher that manages a fleet of WordPress websites (20 Yoast licenses on file). We are automating installation and deployment of WordPress as much as possible, but Yoast isn't very configurable in the automation proces.

👍 I would like to second this features request for the exact same reason. We have ~80 sites that all run Yoast SEO that we can't configure through our CI/CD process. It would save us a lot of time and effort if we could import the configuration through the wp-cli.

Same here. This would be a nice feature to have within Yoast, especially for CI/CD purposes.

Same. Trying to set up a CI/CD pipeline for 40+ WP instances, and the lack of wp-cli command to import settings is creating problems.

Three years later I’m still convinced that this would be a great addition. I’m curious if this is on an internal roadmap.
