Hello,

Can I see the example of wp-config.php template that you recommend using for WordPress security and performance, thank you.

[Margaret]

Are you using SlickStack?

If you’re using it then wp-config.php will be automatically installed and optimized for your unique website and database settings, etc.

This is our boilerplate:

sorry what are the @ @ @ symbols for?

in your wp-config.php

[Donald]

sorry what are the @ @ @ symbols for?

All the @ symbols are part of placeholders so that SlickStack can search/replace certain strings during the installation process.

Like for example:

@DB_NAME will be replaced with the database name e.g. production

Obviously if you’re not using SlickStack than you don’t need these placeholders and should fill out the wp-config.php settings as you require.

some of the wp-config.php values in SlickStack are set in your ss-config so review that file if you want to adjust certain settings.

Hi,

what if I want to edit some options in wp-config.php for SlickStack?

can I change file contents

[Marilyn]

You cannot edit the wp-config.php in SlickStack because your changes will be overwritten during next update or install. Instead, you should add custom PHP constants to a new file called /var/www/html/wp-content/custom-functions.php and that file will be loaded if detected by SlickStack. See here:
