In the docs, there is the flag --update-attachment-refs and would, I presume, update posts with regenerated media elements. Is my understanding wrong? Am I missing something?

My WP-CLI version: 2.12.0

Error message:

root@hostname:~# sudo -u www-data /opt/wp-cli --path="/var/www/test.mydomain.de" media regenerate --yes --update-attachment-refs
Error: Parameter errors:
 unknown --update-attachment-refs parameter

Cheers
Thomas

    Heya, we only added this very recently in #242 but unfortunately updated the docs a bit too early. You can update to the nightly build to get it

    Added a disclaimer to the docs now to address this
