How Do I Edit WP-config PHP From Within WordPress?

If you want to edit the WP-config PHP file from within WordPress, there are a few ways you can go about it. One way is to use the wp-config.php file editor plugin.

This plugin allows you to edit the WP-config file in a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit, and then save the changes to the file. You can also use the wp-config-editor plugin, which is a completely standalone plugin that allows you to edit the WP-config file without having to load WordPress.

Once you have the WP-config file open in a text editor, you’ll want to scroll down to the bottom of the file and find the line that says “define(‘WP_CONFIG_DIR’, ‘/usr/local/etc’);”. You’ll want to replace the “/usr/local/etc” with your WordPress installation’s actual WP-config directory.

Once you’ve replaced the correct value, you’ll want to save the file and close the text editor.

Now you’ll need to restart WordPress to apply the changes you made to the WP-config file. To do this, you’ll first need to go to the WordPress admin area and click on the “WordPress” menu item in the top left corner of the screen.

From here, you’ll click on the “Settings” menu item, and then on the “Security” menu item. Finally, you’ll click on the “Restart” button next to the WordPress server name in the “Status” column.
