Change wp-config.php settings

Step 1 Open the wp-config.php card

Open the site and click the Settings tab. The wp-config.php card is below PHP.

Nuvlo keeps wp-config.php outside the site’s web folder, so it can’t be downloaded through the site.

Step 2 Open it

Click Open wp-config.php. Nuvlo reads the file from the server; passwords and keys stay hidden.

Step 3 Change a setting

Under Settings you can change, edit the value next to a name. Rows marked Default are Nuvlo defaults you can change but not remove. On a new site they include:

Numbers, true, false and null are saved as they are. Anything else is saved as text. Put a value in quotes to keep it as text.

Step 4 Add your own setting

Click Add setting, type a name in capital letters, digits and underscores, for example MY_SETTING, and a value. Remove your own settings with the bin button.

Some names can’t be set here, because Nuvlo manages them: database settings, security keys and salts, the site address, Redis settings and DISABLE_WP_CRON. For WP_DEBUG and related settings, use the Debug log switch instead. See Change PHP settings.

Step 5 Save and close

Click Save wp-config.php. Nuvlo checks the file before using it:

• A change that would break the file isn’t saved.
• If the site stops working with the change, Nuvlo puts the previous settings back and tells you the error the site answered with.
• If someone else changed the file since you opened it, reload and make your change again.

Click Lock when you’re done to close the file again.
