IDEA: generate dynamic salts for wp-config.php

[gnanet]

Instead of putting pre-defined salts, you could implement a first-time-run function which generates the salts into a template wp-config.php, and saves it on the first usage.

This would allow random salts, but prevents unwanted change of the salt on every call to wp-config.php

The generator function could be this one.

And a complete PHP-CLI project for generating wp-config.php from a template is this one

What do you think about this idea?

Thank you. We have an overdose of salts https://github.com/szepeviktor/wordpress-plugin-construction/blob/master/wp-safe-salt.php https://github.com/szepeviktor/wordpress-plugin-construction/blob/master/wp-safe-salt.sh

Actually this project runs for 10 minutes, see the readme. And stores no data at all. It comes from this archive

This is a speedtest. I could even publish the user passwords!

@gnanet You could use WP-CLI for every WordPress-related operation.
