System Configuration provides direct access to your WordPress wp-config.php constants and variables from within PanelAlpha. This is found under Advanced → System Configuration.
Accessing System Configuration
From your instance, go to Advanced → System Configuration.
What You Can Manage
The System Configuration table lists all constants and variables defined for your WordPress installation:
| Type | Description |
|---|
| Constant | A define() value in wp-config.php (e.g. WP_DEBUG, auth keys and salts) |
| Variable | A PHP variable (e.g. table_prefix) |
Creating a New Configuration Entry
Click + Create Configuration to add a new constant or variable to your wp-config.php. Enter the name, value, and select the type (constant or variable).
Common Use Cases
- Enabling or disabling
WP_DEBUG (also available via the Developer Settings toggle)
- Changing the
table_prefix if needed
- Adding custom constants required by plugins or themes
Editing wp-config.php constants incorrectly can break your WordPress installation. If you are unsure about a value, create a backup before making changes and consult the plugin or theme documentation that requires the constant.
