We have introduced a secure Environment Variables tool within the site-level Security dashboard in MyPressable. This update allows users to manage encrypted application secrets without editing wp-config.php or writing custom helper plugins.
Updates & Navigation
- Dedicated Variable Management: Added an Environment Variables card to the site Security page for adding, updating, and deleting key-value pairs.
- Dashboard value protection: MyPressable encrypts each value at rest the moment you save it. The dashboard is write-only: once you save a value, it’s never shown again. You can replace it or delete it, but you can’t read it back, so a saved secret can’t be copied off your screen or read in plain text.
- Safe configuration: Store secrets without touching wp-config.php or writing a helper plugin. A bad wp-config edit can take a site down; this skips that risk entirely.
- Developer guidance: Shows you the exact PHP snippet for reading a stored value in a theme or plugin, using the
Atomic_Persistent_Data()helper.
How to get started
Log into MyPressable, select a site, and navigate to Security > Environment Variables to manage your encrypted site keys and credentials.
