 * Hello,
 * I am trying to add a trigger to the wp-config that changes the database connection
   if an administrator signs in (user id 1) however, WordPress keeps throwing up
   errors? If this can not be archived is it possible to create a standalone login
   page for the admin to sign into using a different wp-config file?
 * **Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user()**

 * I’m not a developer… but I don’t think `wp-config.php` might be the best place
   for this.
 * I’m thinking that is too early, WordPress may not be fully “loaded” at this point,
   and the WordPress functions like you’re trying to use may not be available yet
   to be used… hence the error.
 * See this [infographic](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-wordpress-actually-works-behind-the-scenes-infographic/?display=wide).
 * I also don’t entirely understand what you’re trying to accomplish or the essence
   of it. If an admin signs in and is pushed to another database, is that database
   for a different WordPress site or what? And where will the changes that the admin
   make appear?
