# wp config create
Generates a wp-config.php file.
Creates a new wp-config.php with database constants, and verifies that the database constants are correct.
### OPTIONS
See the [argument syntax](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/references/argument-syntax/) reference for a detailed explanation of the syntax conventions used.

: Set the database name. Required unless `--skip-check` is used or the SQLite integration drop-in is detected.
[\--dbuser=<dbuser>]
: Set the database user. Required unless `--skip-check` is used or the SQLite integration drop-in is detected.
[\--dbpass=<dbpass>]
: Set the database user password.
\---
sensitive: true
\---
[\--dbhost=<dbhost>]
: Set the database host.

[\--dbcollate=<dbcollate>]
: Set the database collation.

[\--locale=<locale>]

[\--extra-php]
: If set, the command copies additional PHP code into wp-config.php from STDIN.
[\--skip-salts]
: If set, keys and salts won't be generated, but should instead be passed via `--extra-php`.
[\--skip-check]
: If set, the database connection is not checked.
[\--force]

[\--config-file=<path>]
: Specify the file path to the config file to be created. Defaults to the root of the WordPress installation and the filename "wp-config.php".

$ wp config create --dbname=testing --dbuser=wp --dbpass=securepswd --extra-php <<PHP
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
PHP
Success: Generated 'wp-config.php' file.
# Avoid disclosing password to bash history by reading from password.txt
