Reindex Extension

Trigger reindexing of a specific WordPress plugin, theme, or core version.

Usage

• /reindex plugins akismet - Reindex the Akismet plugin
• /reindex themes flavor - Reindex the flavor theme
• /reindex cores 6.7.1 - Reindex WordPress core 6.7.1

Steps

1. Parse arguments

   • $REPO: Repository type (plugins, themes, or cores)
   • $SLUG: Extension slug (or version for cores)
   • Both are required

2. Ensure binary is current

   go install ./...
   

3. Check if the server is running

   curl -s http://localhost:8585/up 2>&1
   

4. If server is running, trigger reindex via API:

   curl -s -X POST "http://localhost:8585/api/reindex/$REPO/$SLUG" 2>&1
   

5. If server is not running, use the index CLI directly:

   • First, determine the zip URL for the extension
   • Then run:

     veloria index --repo=$REPO --slug=$SLUG --zipurl="$ZIP_URL" 2>&1
     

6. Report results

   ## Reindex Results
   
   - Extension: $REPO/$SLUG
   - Method: API / CLI
   - Status: success / failed
   - Details: [output from command]
   

CLI vs API

Method	When	Notes
API (/api/reindex)	Server running	Handles zip URL lookup, DB update, and hot-swap
CLI (veloria index)	Server not running	Requires explicit --zipurl, no DB update

The API method is preferred as it handles the full pipeline including database updates and live index hot-swap.
