Management commands
(publish_scheduled)=
publish_scheduled
./manage.py publish_scheduled
This command publishes, updates or unpublishes objects that have had these actions scheduled by an editor. We recommend running this command once an hour.
(fixtree)=
fixtree
./manage.py fixtree
This command scans for errors in your database and attempts to fix any issues it finds.
(move_pages)=
move_pages
manage.py move_pages from to
This command moves a selection of pages from one section of the tree to another.
Options:
-
from This is the id of the page to move pages from. All descendants of this page will be moved to the destination. After the operation is complete, this page will have no children.
-
to This is the id of the page to move pages to.
(purge_revisions)=
purge_revisions
manage.py purge_revisions [--days=<number of days>] [--pages] [--non-pages]
This command deletes old revisions which are not in moderation, live, approved to go live, or the latest
revision. If the days argument is supplied, only revisions older than the specified number of
days will be deleted.
If the pages argument is supplied, only revisions of page models will be deleted. If the non-pages argument is supplied, only revisions of non-page models will be deleted. If both or neither arguments are supplied, revisions of all models will be deleted.
Support for deleting revisions of non-page models is added.
(purge_embeds)=
purge_embeds
manage.py purge_embeds
This command deletes all the cached embed objects from the database. It is recommended to run this command after changes are made to any embed settings so that subsequent embed usage does not from the database cache.
(update_index)=
update_index
./manage.py update_index [--backend <backend name>]
This command rebuilds the search index from scratch.
It is recommended to run this command once a week and at the following times:
- whenever any pages have been created through a script (after an import, for example)
- whenever any changes have been made to models or search configuration
The search may not return any results while this command is running, so avoid running it at peak times.
Specifying which backend to update
By default, update_index will rebuild all the search indexes listed in WAGTAILSEARCH_BACKENDS.
If you have multiple backends and would only like to update one of them, you can use the --backend option.
For example, to update just the default backend:
python manage.py update_index --backend default
The --chunk_size option can be used to set the size of chunks that are indexed at a time. This defaults to
1000 but may need to be reduced for larger document sizes.
Indexing the schema only
You can prevent the update_index command from indexing any data by using the --schema-only option:
python manage.py update_index --schema-only
Silencing the command
You can prevent logs to the console by providing --verbosity 0 as an argument:
python manage.py update_index --verbosity 0
If this is omitted or provided with any number above 0 it will produce the same logs.
(wagtail_update_index)=
wagtail_update_index
An alias for the update_index command that can be used when another installed package (such as Haystack) provides a command named update_index. In this case, the other package's entry in INSTALLED_APPS should appear above wagtail.search so that its update_index command takes precedence over Wagtail's.
(search_garbage_collect)=
rebuild_references_index
./manage.py rebuild_references_index
This command populates the table that tracks cross-references between objects, used for the usage reports on images, documents and snippets. This table is updated automatically saving objects, but it is recommended to run this command periodically to ensure that the data remains consistent.
Silencing the command
You can prevent logs to the console by providing --verbosity 0 as an argument:
python manage.py rebuild_references_index --verbosity 0
show_references_index
./manage.py show_references_index
Displays a summary of the contents of the references index. This shows the number of objects indexed against each model type, and can be useful to identify which models are being indexed without rebuilding the index itself.
search_garbage_collect
./manage.py search_garbage_collect
Wagtail keeps a log of search queries that are popular on your website. On high traffic websites, this log may get big and you may want to clean out old search queries. This command cleans out all search query logs that are more than one week old (or a number of days configurable through the WAGTAILSEARCH_HITS_MAX_AGE setting).
(wagtail_update_image_renditions)=
wagtail_update_image_renditions
./manage.py wagtail_update_image_renditions
This command provides the ability to regenerate image renditions. This is useful if you have deployed to a server where the image renditions have not yet been generated or you have changed the underlying image rendition behaviour and need to ensure all renditions are created again.
This does not remove rendition images that are unused, this can be done by clearing the folder using rm -rf or similar, once this is done you can then use the management command to generate the renditions.
Options:
- --purge-only : This argument will purge all image renditions without regenerating them. They will be regenerated when next requested.
