Avete letto un tutorial che vi chiede di modificare il file wp-config e non avete idea di cosa sia? Beh, abbiamo pensato a voi. In questo articolo vi mostreremo come modificare correttamente il file wp-config.php di WordPress.
Che cos’è il file wp-config.php?
Come suggerisce il nome, è un file di configurazione che fa parte di tutti i siti WordPress self-hosted.
A differenza di altri file, il file wp-config.php non è integrato in WordPress, ma viene generato appositamente per il vostro sito durante il processo di installazione.
WordPress memorizza le informazioni sul database nel file wp-config.php. Senza queste informazioni, il vostro sito WordPress non funzionerà e otterrete l’errore “error establishing database connection“.
Oltre alle informazioni sul database, il file wp-config.php contiene anche diverse altre impostazioni di alto livello. Le spiegheremo più avanti in questo articolo.
Poiché questo file contiene molte informazioni sensibili, si consiglia di non modificarlo a meno che non si abbia assolutamente altra scelta.
Ma visto che state leggendo questo articolo, significa che dovete modificare il file wp-config.php. Di seguito sono riportati i passaggi per farlo senza incasinare le cose.
Video tutorial
Se il video non vi piace o avete bisogno di ulteriori istruzioni, continuate a leggere.
Come iniziare
La prima cosa da fare è creare un backup completo di WordPress. Il file wp-config.php è così fondamentale per un sito WordPress che un piccolo errore renderà il vostro sito inaccessibile.
Avrete bisogno di un client FTP per collegarvi al vostro sito web. Gli utenti Windows possono installare WinSCP o SmartFTP, mentre gli utenti Mac possono provare Transmit o CyberDuck. Un client FTP consente di trasferire file tra un server e il vostro computer.
Collegatevi al vostro sito web utilizzando il client FTP. Sono necessarie le informazioni di accesso FTP, che possono essere ottenute dal vostro host web. Se non si conoscono le informazioni di accesso FTP, si può chiedere assistenza al proprio host Web.
Il file wp-config.php si trova solitamente nella cartella principale del vostro sito web, insieme ad altre cartelle come /wp-content/.
È sufficiente fare clic con il tasto destro del mouse sul file e selezionare download dal menu. Il vostro client FTP scaricherà il file wp-config.php sul vostro computer. È possibile aprirlo e modificarlo utilizzando un editor di testo semplice, come Notepad o Text Edit.
Capire il file wp-config.php
Prima di iniziare, diamo un’occhiata al codice completo del file wp-config.php predefinito. È anche possibile vedere un esempio di questo file qui.
<?php
/**
* The base configuration for WordPress
*
* The wp-config.php creation script uses this file during the
* installation. You don't have to use the web site, you can
* copy this file to "wp-config.php" and fill in the values.
*
* This file contains the following configurations:
*
* * MySQL settings
* * Secret keys
* * Database table prefix
* * ABSPATH
*
* @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php
*
* @package WordPress
*/
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
/**#@+

*/
define('AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('AUTH_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('NONCE_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
/**#@-*/
/**
* WordPress Database Table prefix.
*
* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each
* a unique prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
*/
$table_prefix = 'wp_';
/**
* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
*
* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
* in their development environments.
*
* For information on other constants that can be used for debugging,
* visit the Codex.
*
* @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
*/
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
Ogni sezione del file wp-config.php è ben documentata nel file stesso. Quasi tutte le impostazioni sono definite utilizzando le costanti PHP.
define( 'constant_name' , 'value');
Diamo un’occhiata più da vicino a ogni sezione del file wp-config.php.
Impostazioni MySQL nel file wp-config.php
Le impostazioni di connessione al database di WordPress appaiono nella sezione “Impostazioni MySQL” del file wp-config.php. Per compilare questa sezione sono necessari l’host MySQL, il nome del database, il nome utente e la password del database.
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
Potete ottenere le informazioni sul database dal cPanel del vostro account di hosting web, nella sezione denominata database.
Se non riuscite a trovare il database di WordPress o il nome utente e la password di MySQL, dovete contattare il vostro host web.
Chiavi e sali di autenticazione
Le chiavi e i sali di autenticazione sono chiavi di sicurezza che aiutano a migliorare la sicurezza del vostro sito WordPress. Queste chiavi forniscono una forte crittografia per le sessioni degli utenti e i cookie generati da WordPress. Per ulteriori informazioni, consultate la nostra guida sulle chiavi di sicurezza di WordPress.
/**#@+
* Authentication Unique Keys and Salts.
*
* Change these to different unique phrases!
* You can generate these using the {@link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ WordPress.org secret-key service}
* You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies. This will force all users to have to log in again.
*
* @since 2.6.0
*/
define('AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('AUTH_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('NONCE_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
/**#@-*/
È possibile generare le chiavi di sicurezza di WordPress e incollarle qui. Questo è particolarmente utile se si sospetta che il proprio sito WordPress sia stato compromesso. La modifica delle chiavi di sicurezza comporta il logout di tutti gli utenti attualmente collegati al sito WordPress, costringendoli a effettuare nuovamente il login.
Prefisso della tabella del database di WordPress
Per impostazione predefinita, WordPress aggiunge il prefisso wp_ a tutte le tabelle create da WordPress. Si consiglia di cambiare il prefisso della tabella del database di WordPress con qualcosa di casuale. Questo renderà difficile per gli hacker indovinare le tabelle di WordPress e vi salverà da alcuni comuni attacchi SQL injection.
/** * WordPress Database Table prefix. * * You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each * a unique prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please! */ $table_prefix = 'wp_';
Si noti che non è possibile modificare questo valore per un sito WordPress esistente. Seguite le istruzioni riportate nel nostro articolo su come cambiare il prefisso del database di WordPress per modificare queste impostazioni su un sito WordPress esistente.
Modalità di debug di WordPress
Questa impostazione è particolarmente utile per gli utenti che cercano di imparare lo sviluppo di WordPress e per quelli che provano funzioni sperimentali. Per impostazione predefinita, WordPress nasconde gli avvisi generati da PHP durante l’esecuzione del codice. Basta impostare la modalità di debug su true per visualizzare questi avvisi. Questo fornisce informazioni cruciali agli sviluppatori per trovare i bug.
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
Impostazioni del percorso assoluto
L’ultima parte del file wp-config definisce il percorso assoluto che viene poi utilizzato per impostare le vars di WordPress e i file inclusi. Non è necessario modificare nulla in questo punto.
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
Hack e impostazioni utili di wp-config.php
Ci sono altre impostazioni di wp-config.php che possono aiutarvi a risolvere gli errori e a risolvere molti errori comuni di WordPress.
Cambiare la porta e i socket di MySQL in WordPress
Se il vostro provider di hosting WordPress utilizza porte alternative per l’host MySQL, dovrete modificare il valore DB_HOST per includere il numero di porta. Si noti che non si tratta di una nuova riga, ma di modificare il valore DB_HOST esistente.
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost:5067' );
Non dimenticate di cambiare il numero di porta 5067 con quello fornito dal vostro host web.
Se il vostro host utilizza socket e pipe per MySQL, dovrete aggiungerlo in questo modo:
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' );
Cambiare gli URL di WordPress usando il file wp-config.php
Potrebbe essere necessario modificare gli URL di WordPress quando si sposta un sito WordPress su un nuovo nome di dominio o su un nuovo host web. È possibile modificare questi URL visitando la pagina Impostazioni ” Generale.
Potete anche modificare questi URL utilizzando il file wp-config.php. Questo è utile se non riuscite ad accedere all’area di amministrazione di WordPress a causa di un problema di troppi indirizzi. Basta aggiungere queste due righe al file wp-config.php:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
Non dimenticate di sostituire example.com con il vostro nome di dominio. Bisogna anche tenere presente che i motori di ricerca trattano www.example.com e example.com come due siti diversi (vedere www vs non-www – Quale è meglio per la SEO?). Se il vostro sito è indicizzato con il prefisso www, dovete aggiungere il vostro nome di dominio di conseguenza.
Cambiare la directory dei caricamenti usando wp-config.php
Per impostazione predefinita, WordPress memorizza tutti i file multimediali caricati nella cartella /wp-content/uploads/. Se volete memorizzare i file multimediali in un’altra posizione, potete farlo aggiungendo questa riga di codice nel file wp-config.php.
define( 'UPLOADS', 'wp-content/media' );
Si noti che il percorso della cartella uploads è relativo all’ABSPATH impostato automaticamente in WordPress. L’aggiunta di un percorso assoluto non funzionerà. Per ulteriori informazioni, consultare la guida dettagliata su come modificare il percorso predefinito di caricamento dei file multimediali in WordPress.
Disattivare gli aggiornamenti automatici in WordPress
WordPress ha introdotto gli aggiornamenti automatici in WordPress 3.7. Consente ai siti WordPress di aggiornarsi automaticamente quando è disponibile un aggiornamento minore. Sebbene gli aggiornamenti automatici siano ottimi per la sicurezza, in alcuni casi possono rompere un sito WordPress rendendolo inaccessibile.
Aggiungendo questa singola riga di codice al vostro file wp-config.php, disabiliterete tutti gli aggiornamenti automatici sul vostro sito WordPress.
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
Per ulteriori informazioni, consultate il nostro tutorial su come disabilitare gli aggiornamenti automatici in WordPress.
Limitare le revisioni dei post in WordPress
WordPress è dotato di salvataggio automatico e revisioni integrate. Consultate il nostro tutorial su come annullare le modifiche in WordPress con le revisioni dei post. Tuttavia, se gestite un sito di grandi dimensioni, le revisioni possono aumentare le dimensioni del backup del database di WordPress.
Aggiungete questa riga di codice al file wp-config.php per limitare il numero di revisioni memorizzate per un post.
define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3 );
Sostituire 3 con il numero di revisioni che si desidera memorizzare. WordPress ora scarterà automaticamente le revisioni più vecchie. Tuttavia, le revisioni più vecchie dei post sono ancora memorizzate nel database. Consultate il nostro tutorial su come eliminare le vecchie revisioni dei post in WordPress.
Speriamo che questo articolo vi abbia aiutato a capire come modificare il file wp-config.php in WordPress e tutte le cose interessanti che potete fare con esso. Potreste anche voler vedere il nostro articolo su 25+ trucchi estremamente utili per il file functions di WordPress.

I believe you should not put any custom rules below the ABSPATH / vars bit down at the bottom, but can you put stuff in any order above those lines?
I’ve got some time on my hands, so I’ve been doing just that, moving stuff around the wp-config file, and removing all the extra fluff between comments. I now know what it all does, and have just left a simple title above each group of rules, such as
/**
* Authentication Unique Keys and Salts.
*/
All the rest of the info about Salts, and debugging etc, is now gone, the stuff that usually appears in green.
What I also did was move the $table_prefix above the Salts, right under the rest of the database info.
I’ve done this all because when I do go in there to modify actual rules, I have to wade my way through what is now useless info, to me.
So far, nothing has exploded, but I thought to ask anyway.
WPBeginner Support says
You can change the order of the other content in that file if you wanted, we would warn to be careful when moving that you don’t remove part of the code and normally you should not need to edit your wp-config file.

Hi,
Thank you for the useful article.
I’m new to this file and I have a basic question. I changed the cache plugin of my site and I need to change the line about it at the beginning of the file to override details of the previous plugin.
Once my file is updated, can I upload it while the cache plugin is activated, and deactivate/reactivate it just after, or do I have to deactivate the plugin before uploading the new wp-config file ?
Thanks for your help.
WPBeginner Support says
If your plugin is requiring you to edit your wp-config file you would normally want to edit the wp-config file before activating your new plugin.

Hi
I have a wordpress site. Today I realized my wp-config.php file has been removed for no reason (The reason is not important for me right now).
I want to know what happens if I create another wp-config.php file in the root directory of my website by renaming the wp-config-sample.php file again and set the database name blah blah blah
does it affect my pages and posts? How about the users who have signed up to my website? does it remove them? If the answer is yes, isn’t it better for me to restore backup? The only problem for restoring backup is that it is for two days ago and I posted a new content yesterday and I will miss it.
Thank you very much in advance
WPBeginner Support says
Your user and post information is in the database so that information shouldn’t be affected, as long as you connect it to your correct database then there shouldn’t be any change.

Hello,
How do I edit wp-config for setting other smtp using WP smtp plugin ?
Plugin says, “The password is stored in plain text. We highly recommend you setup your password in your WordPress configuration file for improved security; to do this add the lines below to your wp-config.phpfile.
define( ‘WPMS_ON’, true ); define( ‘WPMS_SMTP_PASS’, ‘your_password’ ); ”
Where do I exactly add the code ? It don’t shown in tutorial video or article of Wpbeginner.

Hi, I just updated my WordPress to new version manually using FileZilla. My website was working. But then, I did some update inside wp-config.php file. Now the size of that file on server has become ‘0’. Even if I update it from local PC, it still remains ‘0’. What should I do? Now website is not working. I am getting – HTTP Error 500
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Gaurav,
You can download a fresh copy of WordPress and extract it on your computer. Inside it you will find a wp-config-sample.php file. You can upload this file to your server and rename it to wp-config.php. You will now need to edit wp-config.php file and enter your WordPress database information.

Greg Bryant says
I have an intranet-based wordpress site that I’m setting up. I’m having issues with the proxy configuration in wp-config.php. I’ve tried about everything I know and I still keep getting ‘Proxy Authentication Required” errors.
define(‘WP_PROXY_HOST’, ‘https://proxy.domain.com’);
define(‘WP_PROXY_PORT’, ‘3128’);
define(‘WP_PROXY_USERNAME’, ‘domain\\username’);
define(‘WP_PROXY_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxx’);
define(‘WP_PROXY_BYPASS_HOSTS’, ‘localhost’);
Our internal wordpress site can detect that there are new versions of plug-ins but when I try to update I get the proxy authentication error. I’ve tried the variables above with https, http, just proxy.domain.com, the username escaping the \, not escaping the backslash, etc. I looked at the code in class-wp-http-proxy.php and it appears the authentication connects the username with a : and then the password like the http(s)_proxy environment variable. I’ve tried local host for the bypass and an empty string. Our Windows domain uses an file; is there a place to specify this?
I get the same proxy authentication errors trying to download anything from the internal wordpress site.
Error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /var/www/epkb.mw-process-ctrl.com/public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 168
I’m also having an issue with php’s file_get_contents if that’s something wordpress uses. cURL works fine.
Any ideas?

I have curl installed.

Jon M says
Do the changes take effect immediately after saving the new wp-config file?
WPBeginner Support says
Hey Jon,
Yes, they are effectively immediately. However, if you are editing wp-config file in a text editor on your computer, then simply saving your changes may not change the wp-config.php file on your server. You will need to upload the changed wp-config.php file back to your server for changes to take effect.
Admin
Andy says
What’s the best way to upload the changed wp-config.php file back to the server?
Can the tutorial be updated with how to upload the adjusted config file? The tutorial seems to be incomplete for the (relative) novice
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Andy,
We have linked to our article on how to use FTP to upload WordPress files. It also applies to editing your wp-config.php file. You can simply download your wp-config.php file to your computer using FTP. Edit it to make your desired changes and then upload it back using the same FTP client.
Hope this helps.

Excellent post. I am a newbie and learned a lot.
I have an issue with my site. It looks like I have been hacked. I ran WordFence scan and it caught a line of code in my wp-config.php file that it flagged as not belonging there. Following is the code:
My question is this. Can I remove the "@include…" from the file without screwing up the .php file.
Any guidance will be appreciated.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Boris,
Is the file part of the core WordPress software, a plugin, or a theme? If yes, then download a fresh copy of WordPress core, plugins, or theme the file belongs to and then upload the new file.
You can also download the file to your computer before editing the code as a backup. If anything goes wrong you can then upload it back.

I’m having problems accessing site. I debugged and am getting a list of problems but most seem to come back to this one:
“Notice: get_settings is deprecated since version 2.1.0!
Use get_option() instead. in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/xxxxxx/webspace/siteapps/WordPress-xxxxx/htdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3752″
But line 3752 reads:
” trigger_error( sprintf( __(‘%1$s is deprecated since version %2$s! Use %3$s instead.’), $function, $version, $replacement ) ); ”
So i’ve no idea what to replace. I’m sure this is 101 stuff to you, but I’m really confused!! I would really appreciate your advice, thank you.

Hey Steph,
Try updating your Genesis child theme. Connect to your website using FTP and download your child theme as a backup. After that delete child theme folder from your website.
Next, download a fresh copy of the theme and install it. If this doesn’t work, then try updating Genesis core itself.

Sean says
Hi,
I did something silly and now can’t get my site to work. Basically I kept my site live at said URL example.com and created a folder where I built the WordPress site example.com/Wordpress. However when I went to put the wordpress site into the root folder after backing everything up I forgot to change the site URL in the dashboard. i basically then removed my entire site and copied everything from the wordpress site into the root URL. It didn’t work – so I thought I would remove everything and restore my site as it was with both the wordpress and the normal site working.
However once I restored all the files the wordpress site now errors with 404 Page not found and I can’t login into the dashboard either.
Any idea how I can restore this? I think it is looking in the root directory and WordPress folder for the site or something similar and it’s causing the error – but how do I fix it?
Thanks

Hi Sean,
You can update WordPress URLs by adding this code to your wp-config.php file:

Nice instructions, as far as they go. However, I know it is ALSO possible to edit wp-config.php directly through WordPress’ Admin area but it seems to be a closely guarded secret as to HOW to actually do this. I do not have FTP access to my site so I have to use some other method and I’d rather not go chasing down the rabbit hole of trying out various flaky plugins until I find one that actually works. Your assistance as to what menu drill-down to explore in WordPress Admin would be greatly appreciated.

It is not a good idea to edit wp-config.php file inside WordPress admin area. One tiny mistake and you will be locked out of your WordPress site. If you do not have FTP access, you can try editing it via cPanel’s file manager.

I don’t want to sound stupid, but please help me understand… are the wp-config.php changes supposed to be made on my Mac or on the host for my website. They are two different machines.

WPBeginner Support says
You can make changes to wp-config.php file using an FTP client. It allows you to edit files on your web server. After connecting to your website using an FTP client, you need to locate wp-config.php file and download it to your computer. Make changes it to it using a text editor like TextEdit. Save your changes and then upload the file back to your web server using the FTP client.

Once you have done that, you can see the settings by visiting this URL on your blog:

You have 2 buttons
1st – Repair Database
