# 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.jsonthat are no longer defined inflags.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.
