Inspect a single section:

# Just the CSS files
wp acss status --section=css

# Just the flags
wp acss status --section=flags

What each section reports

  • plugin — plugin version, database schema version, and the CSS directory/URL
  • integrations — which builders (Bricks, Gutenberg) are currently active on the site
  • css — every expected CSS file with its existence, modified time, and size. Missing files are highlighted in red in text mode.
  • settings — total number of settings stored and the option name they live under
  • flags — whether the flag system initialized, the currently active flags, and any ignored flags (entries in flags.user.json/flags.dev.json that are no longer defined in flags.json)

Use this command as a quick first look when troubleshooting a site — if a CSS file is missing or an integration isn't detected, wp acss doctor drills deeper.
