SleekView for WP Config File Editor: defines and constants as tables
WP Config File Editor parses wp-config.php and exposes its constants and defines as records. SleekView turns those records into a grid you can sort, filter, and (where the plugin allows) edit inline with an audit trail.

Constants without a code review
WP Config File Editor reads wp-config.php, parses every define() and constant assignment, and stores a working representation it can write back. The default screen lists those defines in source order. That's fine for one site but slow when you manage a portfolio and need to know which sites still have WP_DEBUG on or DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT off.
SleekView reads the parsed defines through the plugin's accessor and renders one table of constant name, value, type, scope, and last modified. Filters group security-relevant defines like DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT, FORCE_SSL_ADMIN, and WP_DEBUG together. Sorting by last modified surfaces the constants someone touched this week.
Edits route through the plugin's own writer so the file is rewritten safely with backups, and every change is logged with the editor's user ID. Read-only roles can see the grid without write access, which is the right setup for support staff during incident response.

Comparison
Default WP Config File Editor admin vs SleekView
Default WP Config File Editor admin
-
Lists every
define()in source order with no grouping - No quick filter for security versus debug defines
- No last-modified column to spot recent changes
- Hard to see which constants drift from a portfolio template
- Audit log lives in a separate screen from the value editor
SleekView
- Defines grouped by category: Security, Debug, Performance, Custom
- Last modified column joined from the plugin's audit log
-
Filter to risky values like
WP_DEBUG=trueon live sites - Saved view comparing this site against a hardening template
- Role-scoped read access for support staff during incidents

The bigger picture
Why wp-config drift matters
wp-config.php is the single file that decides whether a WordPress site is in debug, whether file editing is locked, and whether SSL is enforced for admin. Most teams set those constants once during launch and never look at them again. Plugins, hosts, and well-meaning support sessions then flip individual defines and nobody notices until the next incident.
WP Config File Editor makes the file editable from the dashboard, which is a real improvement over SSH, but it stops at the single-site, single-screen experience. SleekView turns the same constants into a grid that security leads, DevOps, and support can all share. Filters surface risky values, saved views encode a hardening baseline, and the audit log answers who changed what and when.
The next incident review starts with a single CSV export instead of a frantic SSH session, and the site's security posture stays measurable rather than vibe-based.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for WP Config File Editor
No. Edits always route through WP Config File Editor's writer, which validates syntax and rolls a backup before saving. SleekView never touches the file on disk by itself.
 Yes. Map an existing capability or create a new one for view access; write access can be locked to administrators or to a specific role. Capability checks run on every inline edit.
 Yes. Each save writes an audit row with the editor's user ID, the previous value, and a timestamp. The audit view is a SleekView grid you can filter and export.
 
Environment-driven constants (set with SetEnv in Apache, or in PHP-FPM config) are surfaced as read-only rows with a source: env tag. SleekView won't try to rewrite them in wp-config.php.
Yes. Export both grids to CSV and diff them, or use SleekView's compare view if the plugin exposes both environments through a single dashboard.
 SleekView shows the grid in read-only mode automatically and surfaces a warning. Inline edits are disabled until file permissions allow writes.
 Yes. Database credentials and salt constants are masked by default and only revealed after an extra capability check. The audit log records reveal events.
 
Yes. The grid surfaces the network-level wp-config.php defines and tags rows that come from wp-config.php versus sunrise.php when applicable.
