wp-config.php on HelpHub is too technical

[Kenshino]

Issue Description

wp-config.php on HelpHub is too technical

Whereas there's no explanation of it in DevHub

URL of the Page with the Issue

https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/

Section of Page with the issue

Why is this a problem?

Suggested Fix

I'll be moving most of the content to DevHub and restructure the content left on HelpHub

[Kenshino]

Removing the entire section

There's no point for us to provide this - this info should be gotten from the host and we're well past the years where installation could fail because of wrong values added / not added by the host

New DevHub page created on the Common API handbook page - https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/wp-config-php/

[Kenshino]

HelpHub page fully simplified to suggest that users won't really need to edit wp-config.php

Remember to include a link in the userdoc to https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/ which contains descriptions of those actions a "normal user" may need to actually do.

Heads up @lucprincen @javiercasares - the "advanced administration" label was applied to this issue.

There are some tools about wp-config (one is mine):

• https://wpconfig.wpsysadmin.com/
• https://generatewp.com/wp-config/
• https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/wp-config-php/
• https://github.com/romslf/wp-config-generator
• https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/config/

Also, I documented practically all the wp-config options here some time ago.

FYI we do not make links to external (non-WordPress owned) sites.
