              mountPath: "/bitnami/wordpress"
      volumes:
        - name: wordpress-pvc
          persistentVolumeClaim:
            claimName: wordpress-pvc-claim

Are you using any custom parameters or values?

I am adding Extra config environment in deployment manifest file.

env:
            - name: WORDPRESS_EXTRA_WP_CONFIG_CONTENT
              value: "define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false ); \
                      define( 'WP_CACHE', true); \
                      define( 'WPCACHEHOME', '/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/'); \ "

What is the expected behavior?

We should be able to see the added extra WordPress config values in wp-config.php file.

What do you see instead?

I am using WordPress docker image to build my Kubernetes application. But when I am adding value to the env variable WORDPRESS_EXTRA_WP_CONFIG_CONTENT they are not appending in the wp-config.php. I can see the values inside the pod but not in the wp-config.php file.

Hello @ayush-sachdev ,

I was not able to reproduce the error by applying the following change in the chart:

diff --git a/bitnami/wordpress/values.yaml b/bitnami/wordpress/values.yaml
index ab5b2979f..faa2c0b6f 100644

 ## @param extraEnvVarsCM Name of existing ConfigMap containing extra env vars

With this. result:

$ kubectl exec wp-wordpress-58677795f8-tp96b -- cat /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-config.php | grep CACHE

define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false ); define( 'WP_CACHE', true); define( 'WPCACHEHOME', '/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/');

Could you please double-check it by removing the existing PVC?
