Você leu um tutorial que pede para editar o arquivo wp-config e não tem ideia do que seja? Bem, nós o ajudamos. Neste artigo, mostraremos a você como editar corretamente o arquivo wp-config.php no WordPress.
O que é o arquivo wp-config.php?
Como o nome sugere, é um arquivo de configuração que faz parte de todos os sites WordPress auto-hospedados.
Diferentemente de outros arquivos, o arquivo wp-config.php não vem incorporado ao WordPress, mas é gerado especificamente para o seu site durante o processo de instalação.
O WordPress armazena as informações do seu banco de dados no arquivo wp-config.php. Sem essas informações, seu site WordPress não funcionará e você receberá o erro“error establishing database connection” (erro ao estabelecer conexão com o banco de dados).
Além das informações do banco de dados, o arquivo wp-config.php também contém várias outras configurações de alto nível. Nós as explicaremos mais adiante neste artigo.
Como esse arquivo contém muitas informações confidenciais, é recomendável que você não mexa nele, a menos que não tenha outra opção.
Mas como você está lendo este artigo, isso significa que precisa editar o arquivo wp-config.php. Abaixo estão as etapas para fazer isso sem bagunçar as coisas.
Tutorial em vídeo
Se você não gostar do vídeo ou precisar de mais instruções, continue lendo.
Primeiros passos
A primeira coisa que você precisa fazer é criar um backup completo do WordPress. O arquivo wp-config.php é tão importante para um site WordPress que um pequeno erro tornará seu site inacessível.
Você precisará de um cliente FTP para se conectar ao seu site. Os usuários do Windows podem instalar o WinSCP ou o SmartFTP e os usuários do Mac podem experimentar o Transmit ou o CyberDuck. Um cliente FTP permite a transferência de arquivos entre um servidor e seu computador.
Conecte-se ao seu site usando o cliente FTP. Você precisará das informações de login do FTP, que podem ser obtidas no seu host da Web. Se não souber as informações de login do FTP, peça suporte ao seu host da Web.
O arquivo wp-config.php geralmente está localizado na pasta raiz de seu site com outras pastas, como /wp-content/.
Basta clicar com o botão direito do mouse no arquivo e selecionar download no menu. Seu cliente FTP fará o download do arquivo wp-config.php para seu computador. Você pode abri-lo e editá-lo usando um programa editor de texto simples, como o Notepad ou o Text Edit.
Entendendo o arquivo wp-config.php
Antes de começar, vamos dar uma olhada no código completo do arquivo wp-config.php padrão. Você também pode ver um exemplo desse arquivo aqui.
<?php

/** 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');
Cada seção do arquivo wp-config.php está bem documentada no próprio arquivo. Quase todas as configurações aqui são definidas usando constantes PHP.
define( 'constant_name' , 'value');
Vamos dar uma olhada mais de perto em cada seção do arquivo wp-config.php.
Configurações do MySQL no arquivo wp-config.php
Suas configurações de conexão com o banco de dados do WordPress aparecem na seção “MySQL Settings” (Configurações do MySQL) do arquivo wp-config.php. Você precisará do host do MySQL, do nome do banco de dados, do nome de usuário e da senha do banco de dados para preencher essa seção.
// ** 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', '');
É possível obter as informações do banco de dados no cPanel da sua conta de hospedagem na Web, na seção denominada bancos de dados.
Se não conseguir encontrar o banco de dados do WordPress ou o nome de usuário e a senha do MySQL, entre em contato com o host da Web.
Chaves e sais de autenticação
Chaves e sais exclusivos de autenticação são chaves de segurança que ajudam a melhorar a segurança de seu site WordPress. Essas chaves fornecem uma criptografia forte para sessões de usuário e cookies gerados pelo WordPress. Consulte nosso guia sobre chaves de segurança do WordPress para obter mais informações.
/**#@+
* 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}

*/
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');
/**#@-*/
Você pode gerar chaves de segurança do WordPress e colá-las aqui. Isso é particularmente útil se você suspeitar que seu site WordPress pode ter sido comprometido. A alteração das chaves de segurança fará o logout de todos os usuários atualmente conectados no seu site WordPress, forçando-os a fazer login novamente.
Prefixo da tabela do banco de dados do WordPress
Por padrão, o WordPress adiciona o prefixo wp_ a todas as tabelas criadas pelo WordPress. É recomendável que você altere o prefixo da tabela do banco de dados do WordPress para algo aleatório. Isso dificultará que os hackers adivinhem suas tabelas do WordPress e o salvará de alguns ataques comuns de injeção de SQL.
/** * 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_';
Observe que você não pode alterar esse valor em um site existente do WordPress. Siga as instruções em nosso artigo sobre como alterar o prefixo do banco de dados do WordPress para alterar essas configurações em um site existente do WordPress.
Modo de depuração do WordPress
Essa configuração é particularmente útil para usuários que estão tentando aprender a desenvolver o WordPress e para usuários que estão testando recursos experimentais. Por padrão, o WordPress oculta os avisos gerados pelo PHP durante a execução do código. Basta definir o modo de depuração como verdadeiro para mostrar esses avisos. Isso fornece informações cruciais para que os desenvolvedores encontrem bugs.
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
Configurações de caminho absoluto
A última parte do arquivo wp-config define o caminho absoluto que é usado para configurar as variáveis do WordPress e os arquivos incluídos. Você não precisa alterar nada aqui.
/** 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');
Hacks e configurações úteis do wp-config.php
Há algumas outras configurações do wp-config.php que podem ajudá-lo a solucionar erros e resolver muitos erros comuns do WordPress.
Como alterar a porta e os soquetes do MySQL no WordPress
Se o seu provedor de hospedagem do WordPress usar portas alternativas para o host do MySQL, será necessário alterar o valor DB_HOST para incluir o número da porta. Observe que essa não é uma nova linha, mas você precisa editar o valor DB_HOST existente.
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost:5067' );
Não se esqueça de alterar o número da porta 5067 para qualquer número de porta fornecido por seu host da Web.
Se o seu host usar sockets e pipes para o MySQL, você precisará adicioná-lo assim:
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' );
Alteração de URLs do WordPress usando o arquivo wp-config.php
Talvez seja necessário alterar os URLs do WordPress ao mover um site do WordPress para um novo nome de domínio ou um novo host da Web. Você pode alterar esses URLs visitando a página Configurações ” Geral.
Você também pode alterar esses URLs usando o arquivo wp-config.php. Isso é útil se você não conseguir acessar a área de administração do WordPress devido a um problema de erro de muitos direcionamentos. Basta adicionar essas duas linhas ao seu arquivo wp-config.php:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
Não se esqueça de substituir example.com por seu próprio nome de domínio. Você também precisa ter em mente que os mecanismos de pesquisa tratam www.example.com e example.com como dois locais diferentes (consulte www vs non-www – Qual é o melhor para SEO?). Se o seu site for indexado com o prefixo www, você precisará adicionar seu nome de domínio adequadamente.
Alterar o diretório de uploads usando wp-config.php
Por padrão, o WordPress armazena todos os seus uploads de mídia no diretório /wp-content/uploads/. Se quiser armazenar seus arquivos de mídia em outro local, poderá fazê-lo adicionando esta linha de código no arquivo wp-config.php.
define( 'UPLOADS', 'wp-content/media' );
Observe que o caminho do diretório de uploads é relativo ao ABSPATH definido automaticamente no WordPress. A adição de um caminho absoluto aqui não funcionará. Consulte nosso guia detalhado sobre como alterar o local padrão de upload de mídia no WordPress para obter mais informações.
Desativar atualizações automáticas no WordPress
O WordPress introduziu as atualizações automáticas no WordPress 3.7. Isso permitiu que os sites do WordPress fossem atualizados automaticamente quando houvesse uma pequena atualização disponível. Embora as atualizações automáticas sejam ótimas para a segurança, em alguns casos elas podem quebrar um site WordPress, tornando-o inacessível.
Adicionar essa única linha de código ao seu arquivo wp-config.php desativará todas as atualizações automáticas em seu site WordPress.
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
Consulte nosso tutorial sobre como desativar as atualizações automáticas no WordPress para obter mais informações.
Limitar revisões de postagens no WordPress
O WordPress vem com salvamento automático e revisões incorporadas. Consulte nosso tutorial sobre como desfazer alterações no WordPress com revisões de postagens. No entanto, se você tiver um site grande, as revisões podem aumentar o tamanho do backup do banco de dados do WordPress.
Adicione esta linha de código ao seu arquivo wp-config.php para limitar o número de revisões armazenadas para uma postagem.
define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3 );
Substitua 3 pelo número de revisões que você deseja armazenar. O WordPress agora descartará automaticamente as revisões mais antigas. No entanto, as revisões de postagens mais antigas ainda estão armazenadas em seu banco de dados. Consulte nosso tutorial sobre como excluir revisões de postagens antigas no 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
