 * Hello,
 * Currently, there is no way to add custom constants/variables through the form.
 * However, you can edit them manually using the RAW editor
 * Upcoming releases would have support for custom variables/constants
 * Thanks

 * Could you please send me one link with one negative story so I can enhance the
   Plugin for others to use? It would be great to say negative things just with 
   a prove, not just words.
 * The Plugin can be uninstalled and deleted and there is no any effect from doing
   so
 * It also weird to ask the Plugin author who is developed the negative stories 
   about the good stories.
 * So if it would help you, yes you can uninstall it safly

 * I’m sorry I just forget to tell where the Backup file is located
 * There is a sub directory created under wp-content directory. This sub directory
   name would looks like wcfe-061dab63d20b44338d99d770b6c6cc04. wcfe- would be static
   for every installation while the hash number “061dab63d20b44338d99d770b6c6cc04”
   would be changed on every installation.
 * Under that directory there would be a file named “wp-config-backup.php”.
 * The encoded content would be on line 8

 * OK
 * There is another get around solution
 * Here is the steps:
 * 1. Please open the backup file through FTP
    2. Please select and copy, the encoded
   content.
 * The encoded content would looks like “return array( ‘content’ => ‘PD9waHAKLy……
   =’ )
 * You should copy all text that start from ‘PD9’ until the ‘=’ symbol
 * Your encoded data might looks different, I’m just given an example.
 * 3. Open your browser and go to [https://www.base64decode.org/](https://www.base64decode.org/)
   
   4. Paste the code your just copied into the first text box that lay down underneath“
   Decode from Base64 format” text 5. Click Decode 6. The decoded content would 
   be generated down on the next text box 7. Using FTP client open wp-config.php
   for edit and clear all the content inside 8. Copy and Paste the decoded config
   file you get from [https://www.base64decode.org/](https://www.base64decode.org/)
   in place of the old text 9. Save the file
 * Hope that helps

 * Hello,
 * You don’t need to delete the Plugin as the Plugin already modified wp-config.
   php file and the error would be presented until wp-config.php file changes reverted
   back.
 * This Plugin is sending Backup link to the logged in user email address.
 * The Backup link is valid for 3 days from the changes.
 * Please check out the email address that linked to the WordPress used you used
   to make the changes. Also check the JUNK folder
 * Please let me know if you found that email
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * I believe there is nothing to do anything if its not being fixed by your host
   provider however you might try to set it from htaccess file if its not worked
   then they just CLAIMED and you might contact them again and you don’t then need
   to do anything else, they must set it from their side
 * You might try add the following line in .htaccess file
 * php_value max_input_vars 3000
 * If it doesn’t work so you need to contact them again
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * max_input_vars can only be changed from php.ini and htaccess files
 * This Plugin is to edit wp-config.php file only
 * That says you cannot set max_input_vars using this Plugin, try to find any other
   plugin that allows you to change htaccess file
 * NOTE: Shared host almost disable setting max_input_vars from htaccess too, so
   you need to check with your shared host provider before trying to edit htaccess
   file
 * Hope that helps
 * Thanks

 * WP Config File Editor Plugin 1.6.5 and later versions are tested on PHP version
   7.0
 * MYSQL extension is the Application Programming Interface drive we use to connect
   to the database.
 * WP Config File Editor Plugin is relying on WordPress libraries to connect to 
   the database
 * However WP Config File Editor Plugin is using MYSQL and MYSQLI only to test wp-
   config.php file’s database parameters.
 * The error you got from compability check Plugin is completely FALSE as WP Config
   File Editor check for the existance of MYSQL extension before using it.
 * Hope that make sense
 * Thanks

 * Hey
 * I’m sorry for the delay I was little ill for few months.
 * Its WordPress responsibility to Download, Extract and install Plugins. Plugins
   are not yet not involved before they’re already installed
 * This might be error on the downloaded package (may be network error) or might
   be permission error that prevent WordPress from copying files into Plugins directory
 * Did you managed to sort this issue?
 * Please let me know !
 * Thanks
