This time I wanna learn about symbol &&, I’ll use it to simply download and unzip theme and plugins for my wordpress blog faster and easier. Lets start :

Get Download link target

I like to try these theme and plugins:

• Winter style (theme)
  

http://speckyboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/winter_styled.zip

• Hide Wp Version (change your wp version as you want)
  

http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/replace-wp-version.zip

• Backupwordpress, backup database + files

http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/download/backupwordpress.zip

Download and unzip

1. For theme go to theme folder in inside wp-theme area

2. Download file and unzip in single command :

# wget http://speckyboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/winter_styled.zip && unzip winter_styled.zip
–07:58:23– http://speckyboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/winter_styled.zip
=> `winter_styled.zip’

al@hostingformula [~/www/hostingformula.info/wp-content/themes]# ls
./ blackwhite/ default/ winter_styled/
../ box-tube/ excel/ winter_styled.zip

As you see folder winter_styled and winter_styled.zip .

3. Change directory to plugins

# cd ../plugins/
al@hostingformula [~/www/hostingformula.info/wp-content/plugins]#

Issue command to download and unzip :

wget http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/replace-wp-version.zip && unzip replace-wp-version.zip

wget http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/download/backupwordpress.zip && unzip backupwordpress.zip

Yes, same way as previous step for download theme.

summary :

• Using && symbol can save our time.

• Using && without limit.

wget http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/replace-wp-version.zip && unzip replace-wp-version.zip && wget http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/download/backupwordpress.zip && unzip backupwordpress.zip

this will download two plugins and unzip them, just make sure to type it in one line.

Enjoy
