Autofill database details in v4 #346

Hiya. Love the app! Been using it for years.

In v3 the database details get autofilled from wp-config. In v4 they don't. I guess this was a conscious choice because it is more secure, but it also takes extra time. Is it possible (for us, end user devs) to configure v4 to autofill like v3?

hello,

you are right we removed the feature for security reasons and I don't believe it's wise to bring it back even with some special flag. Many people just left the script on their server making a huge security mistake. Feel free to fork the project and add the feature, you will always welcome pull the changes from this repo and update your copy :smile:

@gianluigi-icit would make sense to have a flag only available via CLI that capture the data from WP? If the user has access to CLI they already have access to the wp-config anyway. And only allowing this from CLI will still prevent the issue with the browser and people memory...

Thanks
