Overview

Configurator is a plugin that allows you to edit the wp-config.php file of your installation within the browser.

It lists every item in your wp-config.php file and displays it as a form so you can edit them as you wish. Just be wary though, making a mistake on crucial parts, such as your database user and password, can allow you to crash your WordPress installation.

If at any point your WordPress stops working after editing your wp-config.php through Configurator, fear not! Configurator makes sure to back up your wp-config.php file before overwriting it, so that in the event that anything happens, you can simple delete your wp-config.php file and then rename wp-config.php.bak to wp-config.php!
