WordPress admin makes it easy to manage configurations<\/strong> without touching a line of code. These basic configuration settings<\/a> are then stored in the wp-options<\/code> table<\/strong> inside the database. But, WordPress also has a separate configuration file<\/strong>, called wp-config.php<\/code><\/strong>, that can be used for further customizations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Wp-config is the file where your custom hosting data<\/strong> (database name, database host, etc.) is saved<\/strong> when you install a self-hosted WordPress site. You can also add other configuration options<\/strong> to this file, with which you can enable or disable features such as debugging, cache, multisite, SSL login, automatic updates, and many others.<\/p>\n

\"wp-config<\/figure>\n

Localize and edit wp-config<\/h2>\n

When you download WordPress, the wp-config.php<\/code> file is not yet present<\/strong> inside the install folder. However, there\u2019s a file called wp-config-sample.php<\/code> that you need to copy and rename to wp-config.php<\/code>. Then, you need to add your basic connection data<\/strong> (database name, database username, database password, hostname, security keys) to this file.<\/p>\n

If your hosting provider uses the Softaculous auto installer<\/strong> (most do so) this process is automated for you<\/strong> and you will find a wp-config.php<\/code> and a wp-config-sample.php<\/code> file in your root folder when you connect your server via FTP.<\/p>\n

\"wp-config.php\"<\/figure>\n

Note that the order of settings matters<\/strong>, so don\u2019t rearrange them. When editing the wp-config file, always use a code editor<\/strong> such as Sublime Text, Atom, Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, or TextMate. Word processors (Microsoft Office, Google Docs, LibreOffice, etc.) will mess your file up, never use them<\/strong> to edit code files.<\/p>\n

The settings saved into wp-config override the database<\/strong>, in case the same type of configuration is present at both (e.g. home URL)<\/p>\n

Where to place the code snippets<\/h3>\n

In this article, you can find 20 code snippets<\/strong> with which you can use to customize your wp-config.php<\/code> file.<\/p>\n

Most of these configuration options don\u2019t exist<\/strong> in wp-config by default. If you want to use them you need to add them below the starting <?php<\/code> tag and code comments<\/strong>, but above the MySQL settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Place<\/figure>\n

1. Turn on WP debugger<\/h2>\n

You can turn the WordPress debugger on and off in the wp-config file. The first snippet below does exist by default<\/strong> in wp-config (below the database configurations) but its value is set to false<\/code>. To turn the debugger on, change its value to true<\/code>.<\/p>\n

The second snippet turns on the frontend debugger<\/strong> that allows you to debug CSS and JavaScript scripts. Use the debuggers only on development sites<\/strong> never in production.<\/p>\n

\r\n# Turns on PHP debugger\r\ndefine( 'WP_DEBUG', true );\r\n\r\n# Turns on CSS and JavaScript debugger\r\ndefine( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );\r\n<\/pre>\n
2. Change database table prefix<\/h2>\n
WordPress uses the wp_<\/code> table prefix by default. If you want a more secure database you can choose a more complicated table prefix<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
This config option also exists in the wp-config file by default, you only need to change the value<\/strong> of the $table_prefix<\/code> variable to a more secure one.<\/p>\n
Only change the table prefix if you have a clean install<\/strong> or on a development site<\/strong>, as it\u2019s risky to do so on a production site.<\/p>\n
\r\n# Creates secure table prefix for database tables\r\n# Only numbers, letters, underscores\r\n$table_prefix = 'a81kJt_';\r\n<\/pre>\n
3. Change WordPress URLs<\/h2>\n
You can set the WordPress and home URLs<\/strong> in the WordPress admin, under the Settings > General<\/code> menu. However, you can also configure these URLs in the wp-config file.<\/p>\n
Defining the WP_SITEURL<\/code> and WP_HOME<\/code> constants in the wp-config file has two advantages:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. it can be life-saving if you can\u2019t access your admin area<\/strong> for some reason<\/li>\n
  2. it can reduce the number of database calls<\/strong> while your site is loading (as wp-config overrides the options saved in the database)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    WP_SITEURL<\/code> specifies the URL users can reach your site<\/strong> with, while WP_HOME<\/code> defines the root of your WP install<\/strong>. If you installed WordPress into your root folder (this is the default option) they take the same value<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Specifies site URL\r\ndefine('WP_SITEURL', 'http:\/\/www.yourwebsite.com');\r\n\r\n# Specifies home URL (the root of the WP install)\r\ndefine('WP_HOME', 'http:\/\/www.yourwebsite.com\/wordpress');\r\n<\/pre>\n
    4. Empty trash after a certain time<\/h2>\n
    You can make WordPress to automatically empty your trash<\/strong> after a certain number of dates. The smallest value of this constant is 0, in this case you disable the trash feature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Empties trash after 7 days\r\ndefine( 'EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 7 );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    5. Enable WordPress cache<\/h2>\n
    You can enable WordPress\u2019 built-in caching feature<\/strong> with the following line of code. Most caching plugins, such as W3 Total Cache<\/a> and WP Super Cache<\/a>, automatically add this snippet<\/strong> to the wp-config file.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Enables WP cache\r\ndefine( 'WP_CACHE', true );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    6. Enable WordPress Multisite<\/h2>\n
    By adding the WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE<\/code> constant to your wp-config file, you can enable WordPress\u2019 multisite feature<\/a><\/strong> that allows you to create a network of WP sites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Turns on WordPress Multisite\r\ndefine( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    7. Redirect non-existing subdomains and subfolders<\/h2>\n
    Sometimes visitors type a non-existing subdomain or subfolder into the URL bar. You can redirect these users to another page<\/strong> on your domain, for instance to the homepage with the help of the NOBLOGREDIRECT<\/code> constant.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Redirects non-existing subdomains and subfolders to homepage\r\ndefine( 'NOBLOGREDIRECT', 'http:\/\/www.yourwebsite.com' );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    8. Manage post revisions<\/h2>\n
    WordPress has a built-in version control system<\/strong>, which means it saves all post revisions<\/strong> you create. A frequently edited post can have as many as 25-30 revisions that can take up a lot of database space after a while.<\/p>\n
    With the WP_POST_REVISIONS<\/code> constant, you can maximize the number of post revisions<\/strong> or completely disable the feature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Completely disables post revisions\r\ndefine( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', false );\r\n\r\n# Allows maximum 5 post revisions\r\ndefine( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5 );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    9. Enable built-in database optimization<\/h2>\n
    WordPress has a built-in database optimization feature<\/strong> you can turn on by adding the following line to the wp-config file.<\/p>\n
    I wrote in detail about how this tool works in this article<\/a>. The most important thing to note is that the database optimization screen is available for anyone<\/strong> (even for non-logged in visitors). Enable the feature only for the period of time you want to run the optimization tool<\/strong>, then don\u2019t forget to disable it.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Turns on database optimization feature\r\ndefine( 'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    10. Disable automatic updates<\/h2>\n
    WordPress runs automatic background updates<\/a><\/strong> by default for minor releases<\/strong> and translation files<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
    You can toggle this feature on and off<\/strong> by setting the values of the AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED<\/code> (for all updates) and WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE<\/code> (for core updates) constants according to the following rules:<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Disables all automatic updates\r\ndefine( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );\r\n\r\n# Disables all core updates\r\ndefine( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );\r\n\r\n# Enables all core updates, including minor and major releases\r\ndefine( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );\r\n\r\n# Enables core updates only for minor releases (default)\r\ndefine( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', 'minor' );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    11. Increase PHP memory limit<\/h2>\n
    Sometimes you may want to increase the PHP memory limit<\/strong> your hosting provider has allocated to your site, especially if you get the dreaded \u201cAllowed memory size of xxxxxx bytes exhausted\u201d message. To do so, use WP_MEMORY_LIMIT<\/code> for the website<\/strong> and WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT<\/code> for the admin area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
    Note that some hosts don\u2019t allow to increase the memory limit manually, in this case contact them and ask them to do it for you.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Sets memory limit for the website\r\ndefine( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M' );\r\n\r\n# Sets memory limit for the admin area\r\ndefine( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    12. Force SSL login<\/h2>\n
    To increase website security, you can force users to log in through SSL<\/abbr><\/strong> every time. The FORCE_SSL_ADMIN<\/code> constant makes SSL compulsory for both user logins<\/strong> and admin sessions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
    Note that the formerly valid FORCE_SSL_LOGIN<\/code> constant was deprecated in WordPress 4.0, so now you always have to use FORCE_SSL_ADMIN<\/code>.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Forces SSL login\r\ndefine( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    13. Disable plugin and theme edits \/ updates<\/h2>\n
    Administrators can edit plugin and theme files<\/strong> in the WordPress admin area. You can make your site more secure if you disable the plugin and theme editors<\/strong> using the DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT<\/code> constant. So, if your site is hacked the hacker won\u2019t have access to your plugin and theme files.<\/p>\n
    You can also disable the plugin and theme update feature<\/strong> using DISALLOW_FILE_MODS<\/code>. This way administrators won\u2019t be able to update plugins and themes in the admin area.<\/p>\n
    DISALLOW_FILE_MODS<\/code> also disables the plugin and theme editor<\/strong>, so if you use it you don\u2019t have to add DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT<\/code>.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Disables the plugin and theme editor\r\ndefine( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );\r\n\r\n# Disables the plugin & theme editor PLUS the plugin & theme update\r\ndefine( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    14. Delete image edits<\/h2>\n
    Whenever you edit an image, WordPress saves it in different resolutions<\/strong>. But, if you don\u2019t want to use the earlier sets of images you can remove them<\/strong> by setting the value of the IMAGE_EDIT_OVERWRITE<\/code> constant to true<\/code>.<\/p>\n
    As a result, the earlier image files will be overwritten<\/strong> by the new ones when you edit an image and only the last set will be saved<\/strong> in the wp-content<\/code> folder.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Cleans up image edits\r\ndefine( 'IMAGE_EDIT_OVERWRITE', true );\r\n<\/pre>\n
    15. Disable unfiltered HTML<\/h2>\n
    Although low-level users (subscribers, contributors, authors) can\u2019t publish unfiltered HTML<\/strong> in WordPress, editors and administrators are allowed to do so.<\/p>\n
    By adding the following line of code to your wp-config file, you can increase security by preventing high-level users from publishing unfiltered HTML<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
    \r\n# Disables unfiltered HTML for admins and editors\r\ndefine( 'DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML', true );\r\n<\/pre>\n
