WP Config Editor
Overview
A Pro module that lets authorized admins edit wp-config.php from WordPress with backup-before-save safeguards. Create a private backup, then write validated changes through a helper—with strong warnings that mistakes can take the site offline. Prefer Debug Mode Toggle for simple WP_DEBUG flips; use this editor for broader config edits when you know what you are changing. Requires a valid WP PowerSuite license.
- Developers who need occasional wp-config edits without SFTP
- Agencies applying known constants on client sites carefully
