What is wp-convesio.php?

In sites deployed on v3 of the Convesio platform (after approximately 1 Nov 2020) you will find an essential file added to your wordpress folder: wp-convesio.php. As described in the file header, this is where you will place directives you would typically place in wp-config.php. In v3 of the platform, the site backup and restore functionality is based on git. On a regular basis, your site’s git repository is regenerated and the wp-config.php file is updated to reflect the new (internal) repo name. This will overwrite any manual changes to the file. Simply put those directives in wp-convesio.php instead, and they will persist when your site repository is regenerated.

 * The extended configuration for WordPress hosted on Convesio Platform
 *
 * wp-config.php is not persistent on Convesio, and is deleted and recreated by the platform, as needed.
 * So any change made to wp-config.php will not be persistent, and can be deleted anytime.
 *
 * To create persistent custom directives for your wordpress config, add it to this file.
