I’m guessing this is a custom “plugin” where you are wanting to run a file externally that connects to the WordPress database, not really as a standard plugin which loads within WordPress environment, as in that case as @belinus says you can just use $wpdb class. Anyway, since ABSPATH is defined IN wp-config.php, you can’t … Read more
After testing for hours, finally get it done. Here the solution: In database wp_options change the value for siteurl and home from your wordpress url to /path/to/wordpress WordPress URL Path To WordPress Then add these code in the bottom of wp-config.php define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://’ .$_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’].”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”); define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ); Now you can use … Read more
I am not aware of a WordPress function to do this. But have a look at this search and replace tool: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ This achieves what you want by reading in the wp-config file and scanning through it. Have a look at the function “icit_srdb_define_find” on line 374.
I don’t think there is a good reason to actually do this, but you can simply use what’s in your config to point to another host. Right from the codex page. define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql.example.com:3307’);

This answer is phrased for anyone running MAMP but potentially has broader applicability (certainly LAMP, WAMP, etc.); if you’re experiencing the same problem in an non-MAMP environment … Read more
I found where the problem was. Everything was working correctly, but I was uploading the wrong version of the php file in question. User error, indeed, but in the process I learned a lot about the WP cache.
I am vaguely aware that it has something to do with the way WordPress is initialized. I know WPLANG can’t be changed on the fly. It’s how PHP works: You can’t change an already defined constant. But there’re filters for that. The following plugin is a sketch that you could use and try to see … Read more
Your best bet would be to match $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] variable against desired host. Unfortunately wordpress init WP_DEBUG constant before multisite functions are loaded.
You will need a different database for each site, or at least a different database prefix. In either case, you’re wp-config.php file will be different for each site. I don’t see how that copying that file verbatum will work. Based on this comment: Update the config file to be exactly like the current version that … Read more
