Overview

About this plugin

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.
