Store Redis connection creds in the sites wp-config.php not in the master.php file

[lukecav]

Currently, Redis connection creds will be stored in the master.php file inside of /html/wp-content/w3tc-config folder.

If Redis connection creds are being defined in the db-config.php file will Redis connection creds still be written into the master.php file or is that set by default?

Would it be possible to support setting Redis connection creds in the site wp-config.php to have W3 Total Cache pull from there?

Hello @lukecav

Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
You can do this by adding it to wp-config.php for example:

define( 'W3TC_CONFIG_CACHE_ENGINE', 'redis');
define( 'W3TC_CONFIG_CACHE_REDIS_SERVERS', 'localhost:6379' );
define( 'W3TC_CONFIG_CACHE_REDIS_PERSISTENT', true );
define( 'W3TC_CONFIG_CACHE_REDIS_DBID', 0 );
define( 'W3TC_CONFIG_CACHE_REDIS_PASSWORD', '' );

Thanks!

Hello @lukecav

master.php file is updated with settings saved in the admin pages, such as wp-admin/admin.php?page=w3tc_pgcache#advanced
5:50
when storing in wp-config it's the same as storing in a database. It will not be stored in master.php
