Config File Editor¶

Control Panel Location: Admin ‣ System Administration ‣ Config File Editor

The Config File Editor allows you to edit items in the config.php file that would normally only be available via hand-editing.

Before you begin editing or adding values, it is strongly recommended that you back up your config.php file. An incorrectly set value here could cause ExpressionEngine to not function as desired.

The Config File Editor screen shows a list of all the variables currently used in the file, presented alphabetically.

To add a new value, enter the name in the textfield on the bottom of the list labelled ($config[‘____’]) and enter its value in the box beside it.

To modify a value, simply enter the new value in the textbox and press “Update”.
