Filling in Configuration file wp-config.php

  • I’d like to suggest that the instructions for filling out the wp-config.php file be a little more explicit. I am not, as I’m sure others are as well, familiar with how exactly to enter usernames, passwords etc. I had to try a few methods before one was successful. All it would have to be was an example of the sample entry along side the completed entry. Like this:

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username_here’);

    to
    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘herbert’);

  • That’s what the wp-config-sample.php file does. also, you do not have to create the wp-config.php file manually. WordPress can do it as part of the install process.

    Esmi: Is that true that WP can Create the file?

    Yes.

    It’s true the auto installer will generate the config for you, but if you have manually create the config, having a bit of PHP knowledge is helpful.

    It could be written a little better, but then again the auto installer is good enough for most.
