WordPress Multisite: Use WP CLI to copy options from one subsite to another

README.md

Copy options from one subsite to another

# Read the RAW option value from the source site (bypasses the masking filter)
wp --path=/path/to/SOURCE option list --search='EXACT_OPTION_NAME' --field=option_value \
  | wp --path=/path/to/TARGET option update EXACT_OPTION_NAME

# Verify on the target with option list (NOT option get, which also runs the mask filter)
wp --path=/path/to/TARGET option list --search='EXACT_OPTION_NAME' --field=option_value

Notes:

• Use option list --search=... --field=option_value, not option get — option get triggers the option_{name} filter and would for secrets copy the mask, not the value.
• Match the exact option name (adjust --search if it's a substring of other option names).
