wp user update 123 --display_name=\"Alice Johnson\"\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn this example, “123” is Alice’s ID.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How to Delete Users<\/span><\/h3>\nWhen user accounts become obsolete or require removal for security reasons, WP-CLI simplifies the process.<\/p>\n
To delete a user, use the wp user delete<\/code>command. To remove Alice’s account, simply execute:<\/p>\nwp user delete 123 --reassign=567\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn this case, again “123” is Alice’s ID and “567” is the ID of the user you want to assign Alice’s content to (for example posts, pages, and so on).<\/p>\n
