Is it possible to put the wp-config.php in another location?

JaceXXX · 04-27-2008, 06:24 PM

Just was thinking about how great it would be to be able to put wp-config.php in a location outside of any web viewable files on my server, has anyone done this?

hey there XXX

moving it outside the doc path would require changing all of the dependent scripts; i doubt alot of people have done that.

it could be done, but then you would have a upgrade headache from that point forward.

What you can do is have all the wordpress files except index.php in their own directory

Giving WordPress Its Own Directory « WordPress Codex

You need to have wp-admin in the web viewable area to access the blog's admin, I put a htaccess with authentication as extra security, maybe you can put the whole wordpress directory secured that way if the actual site permalinks are separate...

Why do you want to do that?
The files aren't viewable with a browser.
