Debugging WP-CLI

WP not found / wrong WP root

• Run wp --info.
• Provide --path=<wordpress-root> if WP is not in the current directory.
• Confirm wp-config.php exists in the expected root.

HTTP/URL targeting issues

• On multisite, include --url=<site-url> for site-specific actions.

Permission/file ownership issues

• If running in containers, ensure you’re using the same user/volume mapping as the app.
• Avoid --allow-root unless you understand the environment and have no alternative.
