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 Masking: Encrypts variable values upon saving and masks current values in the user interface to protect secret credentials from shoulder surfing and plain-text exposure.
- Safe Configuration Loading: Inject variables at the environment level without modifying physical core files, preventing site downtime caused by editing errors.
- Developer Guidance Notes: Includes inline code usage examples for retrieving stored environment variables directly within WordPress themes and plugins.
How to get started
Log into MyPressable, select a site, and navigate to Security > Environment Variables to manage your encrypted site keys and credentials.
