Hi,

we try running a wp-cli command to run a sync to index our existing content in Elasticsearch, using Elasticpress plugin.  
We are using the following WP-CLI command: wp elasticpress sync --force --setup --show-errors --yes  
When we tried to execute the provided command using WP-CLI and encountered the following error: " **Please complete the setup of your index options. There is no index configured for searching**".  
Could please anyone help us understand how we should treat this error?

Here is the log:

[xxx@server public\_html]$ p elasticpress sync --force --setup --show-errors --yes  
Sync cleared.  
Success: Indexing posts..  
Success: Mapping sent  
Processed posts 0 - 350 of 300503. Last Object ID: 623866  
Processed posts 350 - 700 of 300503. Last Object ID: 623021  
Processed posts 700 - 1050 of 300503. Last Object ID: 622297  
‹span class='infor'\>Please complete the setup of your index options. There is no index configured for searching.[xxx@server public\_html]$ [xxx@server public\_html]$

Many thanks,  
F.

Hi @Flavius_V :

Unfortunately, wp-cli is not supported by Elasticsearch, nor does Elastic contribute to its development.

I think you should try wp-cli specific forums or contact their maintainers to get help.
