WPToolkit installing sets on pre-exiting sites
Answered
Hi there. Been trying to install sets from the wp-toolkit CLI for a few days now but seem to be rather stuck.
I have a set with some plugins and a theme, the set ID is 36. I also have a site setup with wordpress, thats id is 20.
Ive tried to run this command with alot of diffrent formats
wp-toolkit -instance-id 20 --sets -set-id 36 -operation install
wp-toolkit --sets -set-id 36 -instance-id 20 -operation install
wp-toolkit --sets -operation install -instance-id 20 -set-id 36
and much more.
Everytime i run it, it runs, says successfull :
Set has been installed successfully. Installation ID(s): (20)
However when check the files / sites, its completely empty besides the default wp-toolkit plugins / themes.
Anyone have any clue on how this API is supposed to be ran with sets?
Best regards, Jay

Hey there! I'm not able to get this to work on my end either, and I'm not finding much documentation for this specific action, so I've reached out to the team and I'll let you know what I find out!

I spoke with the WP Toolkit team and what I found out was that the commands you are using are correct. Here's the official version I ended up with:
wp-toolkit --sets -operation install -set-id ## -instance-id ##
However, what isn't clear, is what this actually does. This installs the plugins from that set onto that specific instance but it does *not* make the set viewable in the dropdown for that user.
I hope that clarification was helpful, but let me know if you need anything else!

Hi again Rex. TBH im still lost at what this actually does. Ran it using your format with instance id 20 and set it 36, but still its nothing in the site.
Can't even see the plugin / theme files in wp-content as root, so its not a permission issue. Geniuely belive it not there at all.
Added a picture of set 36 (which looks good):

That's odd - on my test server I do see things added directly to the plugins directory after running the command. We might need to see a ticket on this since that isn't working on your machine.
I created a set with Really Simple SSL and here's what my plugin directory looks like as of a few minutes ago when I ran the command:
[root@host plugins]# pwd
/home/username/public_html/wp-content/plugins
[root@host plugins]# ll
total 28K

It looks like PHP was hitting a memory limit on your server and after bumping that, the command worked properly.
