I want to add some PHP code but there is no permission to edit the file, and seems the code is overwritten during upgrades?

SlickStack limits file permissions on wp-config.php to make it read-only for better security so that WP plugins can’t hack it

and during reinstall SlickStack will regenerate the file entirely too

what options are you trying to edit in wp-config, and why? mostly you should be editing only your ss-config file instead.

UPDATE:

https://github.com/littlebizzy/slickstack/issues/168

Based on user demand SlickStack is (once again) now supporting a custom functions file where you can add PHP constants or other items that you might usually add to your wp-config.php file… this new functions file path is here:

/wp-content/custom-functions.php

The file is not created by default, however, if SlickStack’s wp-config.php detects that file exists it will be loaded.

Note that a few years ago we had a similar feature (it was an entire MU plugin actually) and a script was force-generated, but it’s now much lighter and simpler.

but we still can’t edit the wp-config.php correct

Technically you can sudo nano that file via shell and edit if you want, but your changes are going to be overwritten during next update anyways

Just use the settings in ss-config is better.

Or if you want custom PHP constants, make a custom-functions.php script.
