Troubleshooting

Command Not Found

If you get Error: 'mkl-pc' is not a registered wp command:

1. Ensure the plugin is activated
2. Check that you're in the WordPress root directory
3. Verify WP-CLI is working: wp --info

Permission Denied on Output File

Ensure the output directory exists and is writable:

mkdir -p exports
chmod 755 exports

Memory Issues with Large Exports

For very large exports, use chunking:

wp mkl-pc presets-export shopify \
  --scope=all \
  --chunk-size=100 \
  --output=export.csv

Empty Export

Check your filters are correct:

# Test with minimal filters first
wp mkl-pc presets-export shopify --output=test.csv

# Then add filters one by one
wp mkl-pc presets-export shopify --product_ids=123 --output=test.csv
