WordPress PHP Class autoloader

The issue

I recently came across an issue whereby installing the popular Yoast SEO plugin caused the frontend of a production site to crash, stating that it couldn't find many of the custom PHP classes written and included in the project theme via the __autoload() php function.

I found others had experienced similar issues when trying to use Yoast with custom PHP classes but not found a fix. Although this issue was also known to the Yoast plugin authors, a fix had yet to appear, so I started to try to find/create a fix myself.

The Fix

Instructions for using WP-CLI to migrate a WordPress DB

# Export current (local) DB
wp db export db.sql

# Copy file from local to server (may need to amend server path if not in html folder)
# The example below is for local to remote, simply swap these 2 around for remote to local
scp -r db.sql www-data@IP_ADDRESS:/var/www/html

# SSH onto box (should be same connection details as above)
