We'll create fresh WordPress site with WPTerm installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
WPTerm is an xterm-like plugin. It can be used to run non-interactive shell commands from the WordPress admin dashboard.
Just like a terminal, WPTerm lets you do almost everything you want (e.g., changing file permissions, viewing network connections or current processes etc). That’s great, but if you aren’t familiar with Unix shell commands, you can also damage your blog. Therefore, each time you use WPTerm, please follow this rule of thumb: if you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t do it!
WPTerm is not compatible with Microsoft Windows; it works on Unix-like servers only.
Because it makes use of PHP program execution functions such as exec
or shell_exec
, it may not be compatible with some shared hosts that have disabled these functions. To make sure your server is compatible, follow these steps:
You can (and probably should!) password protect the access to WPTerm. Consult the contextual help, or type help
at the terminal prompt to get more details about how to enable this feature.
