The wp-config.php will get split in seperate files. the wp-config.php and the env-config.php. env-config.php should never be in the Google Drive / git. It's location should be above the public_html not inside it. In wp-config.php the defaults are set, secret data or data that might differ should be in env-config.php

How to

Create the env-config.php above the public_html. Set the constants needed there. Open the wp-config.php and compere it with the template below. Are there constants that are in the original that are not in the template? Are there constants that are different?

The original should be replaced with the template. But with the tweaks needed.

Specific Constants

Auto generated

Constants set by ithemes/wp rocket or other plugins, keep them at the top of the wp-config.php.

// BEGIN iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line
// iThemes Security Config Details: 2
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true ); // Disable File Editor - Security > Settings > WordPress Tweaks > File Editor
define( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true ); // Redirect All HTTP Page Requests to HTTPS - Security > Settings > Secure Socket Layers (SSL) > SSL for Dashboard
// END iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line
define('WP_CACHE', true); // Added by WP Rocket

Keep

The list of ***_KEY constants should be kept in the wp-config.php The table_prefix should also be kept in the wp-config.php

Exceptions

Check extra for the following constants, and set in env-config.php.

// don't keep if not present, it's old and probably can do without. Remove on wp-provider
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '192M');

// if it's not "utf8mb4" keep it,
define( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8' );

Don't touch.

Constant's that should not be touched, let the new wp-config.php take care of it
