I wanted to use WP-CLI commands in my putty WordPress 5.5.1 & Ubuntu 20.04 Droplet but “When I use Wp commands without –allow-root then It shows an error that you are accessing as the root user,” and I know it’s un-secure to use –allow-root. Please Can anyone help me in accessing wp commands in my Putty without –allow-root.

• Is root the only user on your droplet? You could (and probably should) create a less-powerful user, give it write access to your website, and then su {username} and use wp as that user instead. – Pat J Commented Oct 17, 2020 at 18:43
• I tried it and I create a user with "su adduser" and I know username & password but how can I access it, can log in in my ssh as I log in with root user, or I need to run some command to switch between user. – Sachin Commented Oct 17, 2020 at 19:09
• If you're logged in as root, you should be able to do su {username} where {username} is the username you set up. If you're root, it shouldn't ask you for a password. – Pat J Commented Oct 17, 2020 at 20:33

You can do is to create an additional user and switch to it in order to use the wp-cli

If you're logged in as root or sudo and want an easy way to use the wp commands without having to manually switch to another user (etc) you can create a shell function.

See Tom's answer here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/424419/152624

function noroot() {
  sudo -EH -u "webuser" "$@";
}

noroot wp post list # <- runs as webuser not root

Or, just make an alias for wp in your .bashrc or such so that wp actually means:

alias wp='sudo -u [non-root-user-here] wp'
