Easy PHP Settings

Aprašymas

Easy PHP Settings provides a user-friendly interface to view and manage crucial PHP and WordPress configurations without needing to manually edit server files. It’s designed for both single-site and multisite installations, giving administrators the power to optimize their environment directly from the dashboard.

Key Features:

  • Manage PHP Settings: Easily modify the 5 core PHP settings (memory_limit, upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, max_execution_time, max_input_vars) through dedicated fields.
  • Custom php.ini Configuration: Add any additional PHP directives (session settings, timezone, logging, file uploads, etc.) directly in the flexible custom configuration textarea.
  • Quick Presets: Choose from pre-configured optimization profiles (Default, Performance, WooCommerce, Development, Large Media) that populate both core fields and custom php.ini directives automatically.
  • WordPress Memory Management: Configure WordPress-specific memory limits including WP_MEMORY_LIMIT and WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT to optimize your site’s performance.
  • Automatic Configuration: When you save your settings, the plugin automatically generates .user.ini and php.ini files in your WordPress root directory.
  • Configuration Generator: For locked-down environments, the plugin provides a generator to create configuration snippets that you can manually add to your server files.
  • PHP Extensions Viewer: View all loaded PHP extensions categorized by type, with indicators for critical missing extensions and recommendations.
  • Settings Validation: Automatically detects potentially problematic configuration values and warns you before saving.
  • Settings History: Track all changes made to your settings with the ability to restore previous configurations. Export history as CSV.
  • Import/Export: Backup your settings as JSON files and migrate configurations between sites effortlessly.
  • One-Click Reset: Reset to recommended values or server defaults with automatic backup creation.
  • Helpful Tooltips: Hover over help icons next to each setting to understand what it does and why it matters.
  • Live Status Checker: A dedicated „Status” tab shows your current server environment, including PHP version, server software, and a comparison of current vs. recommended PHP values.
  • WordPress Debugging: A „Debugging” tab with on/off switches lets you easily toggle WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY, and SCRIPT_DEBUG constants in your wp-config.php file.
  • Multisite Compatible: On multisite networks, settings are managed at the network level by Super Admins.

This plugin is perfect for developers and site administrators who want a quick and safe way to view and adjust their site’s technical settings.

DUK

Why can’t I change some settings directly?

Some PHP settings are locked at the server level for security or performance reasons. Your hosting provider determines which settings can be modified at runtime. For these settings, our plugin provides a „Configuration Generator” to give you the code snippets you need to place in your server’s configuration files (like .user.ini or .htaccess).

Where are the .user.ini and php.ini files saved?

When you save settings, the plugin automatically creates these files in the root directory of your WordPress installation (the same directory where wp-config.php is located).

What do the switches on the Debugging tab do?

These switches directly control the debugging constants in your wp-config.php file. Toggling them on or off will define or update the corresponding constant (WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, etc.), allowing you to easily enable or disable WordPress debugging modes.

What is WP_MEMORY_LIMIT and why is it important?

WP_MEMORY_LIMIT is a WordPress-specific constant that controls the amount of memory allocated to WordPress for its operations. It’s different from PHP’s memory_limit as it specifically affects WordPress processes. This setting is crucial for sites with many plugins, themes, or heavy content management. The plugin allows you to easily configure this setting to prevent „Allowed memory size exhausted” errors and improve your site’s performance.

This is a very helpful admin utility plugin. Thank you for making and sharing. PS: Updating to 1.0.4 fills the debug log with PHP textdomain notices; but otherwise the added features are very well done and much appreciated!
