Adds settings that you might expect to find in the WordPress core.

CodeRichard

<p>Configurator is a plugin that allows you to edit the <code>wp-config.php</code> file of your installation within the browser.</p>
<p>It lists every item in your <code>wp-config.php</code> 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.</p>
<p>If at any point your WordPress stops working after editing your <code>wp-config.php</code> through Configurator, fear not! Configurator makes sure to back up your <code>wp-config.php</code> file before overwriting it, so that in the event that anything happens, you can simple delete your <code>wp-config.php</code> file and then rename <code>wp-config.php.bak</code> to <code>wp-config.php</code>!</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>Configurator is tested to work from 3.0. I am not aware of any incompatibilities so far.</p>
