    Hi all,

    Is anyone else using Bricksbuilder with a SS environment? BricksBuilder has a code signature function built for security whereby you need to “sign” your code in order for it to execute. Unfortunately there seems to be something on the SS server that renews SALT keys once a week, always same day same time. And regenerating SALT keys un-signs my code which renders some part of my website a completely useless. I then need to login and re-sign the code site-wide…

    Any advice you could provide would be much appreciated.

    Hey yah, bad practice for plugins to rely on salts in wp-config really

    But you can add your signature in a file /wp-content/custom-functions.php that SlickStack will respect and never overwrite that might work?

    thanks Beverly, can you give me any points on adding BB code signature in a functions file?

    `
    /** ********************************************************************************************* */
    /** WP-Config (Production): Include Custom-Functions.php (Conditional) ************************** */
    /** ********************************************************************************************* */

    /** rather than editing your wp-config.php file simply create a custom functions file */
    /** if SlickStack detects this file exists it will load included constants etc */

    $custom_functions = ‘/var/www/html/wp-content/custom-functions.php’;
    if ( is_file( $custom_functions ) ) {
    include $custom_functions;
    }
    `

    Please try the approach mentioned above… but it depends on Bricks plugin perhaps, if they hardcode requiring something in wp-config.php this approach might not work.

    It would be better if their code used salts as a fallback, not a requirement imo
