Console commands
Commands exposed by Variant Manager. Run from your project root.
variant-manager/activities/clear#
Delete activity log entries.
./craft variant-manager/activities/clearDeletes entries older than the activityLogRetention setting (default: 30 days).
./craft variant-manager/activities/clear 1Wipes every activity log entry regardless of age. The 1 is a positional argument, not an option.
Cleared entries are gone permanently; there is no trash to restore from.
For the dashboard equivalent, see activity log.
variant-manager/attributes/backfill#
Register an attribute and option for every name and value already stored on a variant.
./craft variant-manager/attributes/backfillReads every variant in batches. An attribute or option already registered is skipped, so the command is safe to re-run. New attributes and options appear in the activity log.
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--batchSize |
500 |
Variants read per batch. |
The Utilities -> Variant Attributes utility runs the same work in the queue.
resave/variant-attributes#
Re-save every attribute and option.
./craft resave/variant-attributes --update-search-indexCraft’s own resave command, with an action this plugin adds. --update-search-index rewrites the search keywords for each record, so a system name stored before the record was last saved becomes searchable. resave/all includes it.
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--update-search-index |
false |
Rewrite each record’s search keywords. |
--queue |
false |
Run in the queue instead of the console. |
variant-manager/attributes/orphans#
List attributes and options whose name or value is no longer stored on any variant.
./craft variant-manager/attributes/orphansReads every variant, then compares against the registry. Prints one line per orphan and does not delete records.
./craft variant-manager/attributes/orphans --pruneDeletes exactly the orphans the scan found. A value a variant started storing after the scan began is deleted too, and re-registered on that variant’s next save without its custom field values. The display type is on the attribute’s record, so deleting the record deletes it. The attribute’s field set stays in project config, because other attributes can use it. This is permanent, and any custom field values on the deleted records are lost.
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--prune |
false |
Delete the orphans instead of only listing them. |
--batchSize |
500 |
Variants read per batch. |
See variant attributes.
variant-manager/variant-maker/plan#
Print what generating a set of combinations would do to a product’s variants.
./craft variant-manager/variant-maker/plan 4054 --select="Size=Small,Medium;Color=Red"The first argument is the product ID. Prints one line per combination with its status, the SKU, and the price, and any SKU warning under it. The command does not save changes.
The selection is read from --select rather than the product’s saved Variant Maker settings.
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--select |
'' |
Attributes and values to combine, as Name=A,B;Other Name=C. |
--mode |
add |
One of add, update, or replace. add reports every existing combination as unchanged. update reports one as an update where the built title, SKU, or price differs. replace does that and adds a delete row for each variant the set does not cover, and for each extra variant that repeats a combination. |
--skuFormat |
'' |
SKU format, using {Attribute Name} tokens that resolve to each option’s SKU partial, or to the option value where no partial is set. Blank uses the product slug followed by each option. |
--basePrice |
'' |
Price each combination starts from, as a plain number such as 1299.00. Blank uses the default variant’s price minus its own options’ price modifiers. |
