How to edit your WordPress wp-config.php file

 

How to edit your WordPress wp-config.php file

wp-config.php is a core WordPress configuration file. It is generated during the WordPress installation and contains details specific to your installation and server environment. 

Many WordPress configuration settings are saved in wp-config.php. While we recommend that you use the WordPress dashboard whenever possible, it can be helpful to understand when and how to edit wp-config.php when moving your site from one web host to another or changing domain names or databases.

Getting ready to edit your WordPress wp-config.php file

Before you edit your wp-config.php file, you should understand that even a tiny error in the file could make your WordPress site inaccessible. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you make a site backup and a copy of the existing wp-config.php file before you begin editing.

There are many backup plugins available for WordPress, or you can use the backup feature in cPanel.
