チュートリアルを読んで、wp-configファイルを編集するように言われたけど、それが何なのか分からなかった？それなら私たちにお任せください。この投稿では、WordPressのwp-config.phpファイルを適切に編集する方法を紹介します。
wp-config.phpファイルとは？
その名が示すように、すべてのインストール型のWordPressサイトの一部である設定ファイルです。
他のファイルとは異なり、wp-config.phpファイルはWordPressにビルトインされているのではなく、インストールプロセス中にサイト専用にジェネレータされます。
WordPressはwp-config.phpファイルにデータベース情報を保存します。この情報がないと、WordPressサイトは動作せず、「error establishing database connection（データベース接続の確立エラー）」エラーが発生します。
データベース情報以外にも、wp-config.phpファイルにはいくつかの高度な設定が含まれています。それらについては、この投稿の後半で説明します。
このファイルには多くの機密情報が含まれているため、他に選択の余地がない場合を除き、このファイルをいじらないことをお勧めします。
しかし、あなたがこの投稿を読んでいるということは、wp-config.phpファイルを編集しなければならないということです。以下は、物事を台無しにすることなくそれを行うための手順です。
動画チュートリアル
動画が気に入らなかったり、もっと説明が必要な場合は、このまま読み進めてください。
はじめに
まず最初に行うべきことは、WordPressの完全なバックアップを作成することです。wp-config.phpファイルはWordPressサイトにとって非常に重要であり、ちょっとしたミスでサイトにアクセスできなくなってしまいます。
サイトに接続するにはFTPクライアントが必要です。WindowsユーザーはWinSCPまたはSmartFTP、MacユーザーはTransmitまたはCyberDuckをインストールしてください。FTPクライアントを使用すると、サーバーとコンピューター間でファイルを転送することができます。
FTPクライアントを使用してサイトに接続します。ウェブホスティングサービスから入手できるFTPログイン情報が必要です。FTPログイン情報がわからない場合は、ホスティングサービスに問い合わせてください。
wp-config.phpファイルは通常、サイトのルートフォルダーに/wp-content/のような他のフォルダーと一緒にあります。
ファイルを右クリックし、メニューからダウンロードを選択します。FTPクライアントがwp-config.phpファイルをコンピューターにダウンロードします。メモ帳やテキストエディットのようなプレーンテキストエディタープログラムを使って、このファイルを開いて編集することができます。
wp-config.phpファイルを理解する
始める前に、初期設定のwp-config.phpファイルの全コードを見てみましょう。このファイルのサンプルはこちらでも見ることができます。

wp-config.phpファイルの各セクションは、ファイル自体にしっかりとドキュメンテーションされています。ここでのほとんどすべての設定は、PHP定数を使って定義されています。
[cbk2］
wp-config.phpファイルの各セクションを詳しく見てみましょう。
wp-config.phpファイルのMySQL設定
WordPressデータベース接続設定は、wp-config.phpファイルの「MySQL設定」セクションに表示されます。このセクションを埋めるには、MySQLホスティングサービス、データベース名、データベースのユーザー名とパスワードが必要です。
[cbk3］
データベース情報は、ウェブホスティングサービスのcPanelの「databases」セクションから取得できます。
WordPressデータベースまたはMySQLユーザー名とパスワードが見つからない場合は、ホスティングサービスに連絡する必要があります。
認証キーとソルト
認証キーとソルトは、WordPressサイトのセキュリティ向上に役立つセキュリティキーです。これらのキーは、WordPress が生成するユーザーセッションと Cookie を強力に暗号化します。詳細については、WordPress セキュリティキーのガイドを参照してください。
[cbk4］
WordPress セキュリティキーを生成して、ここに貼り付けることができます。これは、WordPressサイトが侵害された可能性がある場合に特に便利です。セキュリティキーを変更すると、WordPressサイトで現在ログイン中のユーザーはすべてログアウトし、再度ログインする必要があります。
WordPressデータベーステーブル接頭辞
WordPressの初期設定では、WordPressが作成するすべてのテーブルにwp_接頭辞が付加されています。WordPressデータベースのテーブル接頭辞は、ランダムなものに変更することをお勧めします。これにより、ハッカーがWordPressのテーブルを推測することが難しくなり、一般的なSQLインジェクション攻撃からあなたを守ることができます。
[cbk5］
既存のWordPressサイトではこの値を変更できないことに注意してください。既存のWordPressサイトでこれらの設定を変更するには、WordPressデータベース接頭辞の変更方法の投稿の指示に従ってください。
WordPress デバッグモード
この設定は、WordPressの開発を学ぼうとしているユーザーや、実験的な機能を試しているユーザーにとって特に便利です。初期設定では、WordPress はコード実行時に PHP が生成する通知を非表示にします。デバッグモードを true に設定するだけで、これらの通知が表示されます。これは開発者がバグを見つけるための重要な情報を提供します。
[cbk6］
絶対パス設定
wp-configファイルの最後の部分は、WordPressのvarsとincludedファイルのセットアップに使用される絶対パスを定義します。ここではすべて変更する必要はありません。
/** 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');
便利なwp-config.phpのハックと設定
その他にも、WordPressのトラブルシューティングやよくあるエラーの解決に役立つwp-config.phpの設定がいくつかあります。
WordPressでMySQLのポートとソケットを変更する
WordPressホスティングサービスがMySQLホストに代替ポートを使用している場合、DB_HOST値にポート番号を含めるように変更する必要があります。これは新規行ではなく、既存のDB_HOST値を編集する必要があることに注意してください。
[cbk8］
ポート番号5067を、ホスティングサービスが提供するポート番号に変更することを忘れないでください。
ホスティングサービスが MySQL にソケットとパイプを使用する場合は、次のように追加する必要があります：
[cbk9］
wp-config.phpファイルを使ってWordPressのURLを変更する
WordPressサイトを新しいドメイン名または新しいホスティングサービスに移動する際に、WordPress URLを変更する必要がある場合があります。これらのURLは、設定 ” 一般ページにアクセスして変更できます。
また、wp-config.phpファイルを使用してこれらのURLを変更することもできます。この方法は、WordPressの管理エリアにアクセスできない場合に便利です。以下の2行をwp-config.phpファイルに追加するだけです：
[cbk10］
example.comを自分のドメイン名に置き換えることを忘れないでください。また、検索エンジンはwww.example.com と example.com を2つの異なる場所として扱うことを覚えておく必要があります（www vs non-www – Which is better for SEO?を参照）。あなたのサイトがwwwプレフィックスでインデックスされている場合は、それに応じてドメイン名を追加する必要があります。
wp-config.phpを使用してアップロードディレクトリを変更する
初期設定では、WordPressはすべてのメディアアップロードを/wp-content/uploads/ディレクトリに保存します。メディアファイルを別の場所に保存したい場合は、wp-config.phpファイルに以下のコードを追加してください。
[cbk11］
アップロードディレクトリのパスは、WordPressで自動的に設定されるABSPATHからの相対パスであることに注意してください。ここに絶対パスを追加しても動作しません。詳しくは、WordPressで初期設定のメディアアップロード場所を変更する方法をご覧ください。
WordPressの自動更新を無効化する
WordPressはWordPress 3.7で自動更新を導入した。これにより、WordPressサイトはマイナーアップデートがあったときに自動的に更新されるようになりました。自動更新はセキュリティの面では優れていますが、WordPressサイトが壊れてアクセスできなくなるケースもあります。
wp-config.phpファイルにこの個別コードを1行追加するだけで、WordPressサイトの自動更新がすべて無効化されます。
[cbk12］
詳しくはWordPressの自動更新を無効化する方法のチュートリアルをご覧ください。
WordPressで投稿のリビジョンを制限する
WordPressには自動保存とリビジョンがビルトインされています。投稿リビジョンでWordPressの変更を元に戻す方法については、チュートリアルをご覧ください。しかし、大規模なサイトを運営している場合、リビジョンはWordPressデータベースのバックアップサイズを増加させる可能性があります。
以下のコードをwp-config.phpファイルに追加して、投稿に保存されるリビジョンの数を制限してください。
[cbk13］
3を保存したいリビジョン数に置き換えてください。WordPressは古いリビジョンを自動的に破棄します。しかし、過去の投稿リビジョンはデータベースに保存されたままです。WordPressで古い投稿リビジョンを削除する方法については、チュートリアルをご覧ください。

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.

I am a newbie at wordpress. I uploaded the files via Filezilla and got everything configured. Now how exactly do I actually access my new wp-blog site?
Wp is in the root (public_html) of my website. There were several other file folders that came with Wp. Do I upload them into the public_html folder as well?

Hi, I found out when I was installing WordPress, it was installed in subdirectory Wp and has a result my website can’t go live, my web host said I have to uninstall and install again and I should leave the Wp in the Installation panel blank, my problem is that I have designed the website only to go live and once I uninstall everything will be wiped off, what do I about it, Is there a way to avoid that?

If your host requires the site to be in the main directory, you would want to follow the steps in the WordPress coded to move directories on your existing server

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.

I have updated my website (lostkatanning.com) o WP 5.1 (the Gutenberg update) but now, when working on pages or posts it has slowed right down to a crawl and takes forever to respond to even a single key touch.

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.

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?
Thanks

I have curl installed.
It lists ipV6 as yes but I have ipV6 disabled since our network doesn’t support it.

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.

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

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.

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.
