WP-CLI commands to get the active themes across a WordPress blog network (single site ID with multiple blogs for the site)

wp-cli-active-themes-across-network

# Be sure to change or omit the --network parameter; it defaults to 1.

wp site list --network=4 --field=url | while read line; do wp theme list --status=active --field=name --url=$line >> /tmp/wpcli-themes.txt; done && sort /tmp/wpcli-themes.txt | uniq -c

Note this is not supposed to be a bash file, but instead just a copy and paste into the bash cli

Thanks for sharing this!

I found it to take 20+ minutes on a network with 1300 sites, though. It may be possible to optimize with an approach similar to wp plugin active-on-sites. That would avoid the overhead from launching WP-CLI and reading from disk N times, and takes about 65 seconds on the same network.

These is the wp find-unused-themes package, but it's also pretty slow because it relies on WP_CLI::launch_self.

Thanks @iandunn, if I ever need this again, I'll investigate it :)

I think using something like wp option get stylesheet --url="$line" should go much faster than wp theme list

wp find-unused-themes fixed the performance issue, so it's a good solution now IMO.
