EXAMPLES

# Bash script for checking if WordPress is installed, with fallback
if wp core is-installed 2>/dev/null; then
    # WP is installed. Let's do some things we should only do in a confirmed WP environment.
    wp core verify-checksums

    # Fallback if WP is not installed.
    echo 'Hey Friend, you are in the wrong spot. Move in to your WordPress directory and try again.'
