Copying Configuration to Production
If you’re managing relevance in the Algolia dashboard and you have a staging environment, you may want to copy your index configuration to a production index once you’re ready to go live. To do so, you can create a custom command and call it during your deployment process.
You can also copy settings manually from the dashboard.
Creating the copy command
In your algolia-custom-integration/wp-cli.php file, add the following copy_config method to the Algolia_Command class.
In this case, you’re not passing the index names through the algolia_index_name filter, because the point of the command is to copy across existing indices, not creating new ones.

public function copy_config($args, $assoc_args) {
global $algolia;
$srcIndexName = $assoc_args['from'];
$destIndexName = $assoc_args['to'];
if (!$srcIndexName || !$destIndexName) {
throw new InvalidArgumentException('--from and --to arguments are required');
}
$scope = [];
if (isset($assoc_args['settings']) && $assoc_args['settings']) {
$scope[] = 'settings';
}
if (isset($assoc_args['synonyms']) && $assoc_args['synonyms']) {
$scope[] = 'synonyms';
}
if (isset($assoc_args['rules']) && $assoc_args['rules']) {
$scope[] = 'rules';
}
if (!empty($scope)) {
$algolia->copyIndex($srcIndexName, $destIndexName, ['scope' => $scope]);
WP_CLI::success('Copied '.implode(', ', $scope)." from $srcIndexName to $destIndexName");
} else {
WP_CLI::warning('Nothing to copy, use --settings, --synonyms or --rules.');
}
}
This command lets you pass the source and destination indices, and choose what to copy by specifying the --settings, --rules, and --synonyms flags.
