Support » Fixing WordPress » Is the define(‘SECRET_KEY’), still used?

  • On Donncha O Caoimh’s page about what to do if your site gets hacked, he mentions you can add this to the wp-config file:

    define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ’1234567890′ );

    I know all about the wp-config’s secret keys and the new SALT values, but I’m just curious if the ‘SECRET_KEY’ version is an older no longer used value.

    Thanks

    Anyone know about this?

    If you meant like AUTH_KEY vs AUTH_SALT then from what I can tell WordPress 3.0 onwards uses both the KEY and SALT values because when I removed the KEY values, I was prompted in the dashboard to add them again.
