# How to configure initial settings #### NOTE This only works when setting up WordPress charm initially before the database relation setup. Changing the value afterwards has no effect. By providing configuration value for `initial_settings` at deployment, you can tweak a few WordPress settings. For detailed information on configurable parameters, please refer to the [reference guide](https://canonical.com/juju/docs/wordpress-k8s-charm/latest/reference/configurations/index.html.md#reference-configurations). ```default WORDPRESS_SETTINGS=$(cat << EOF user_name: admin admin_email: admin@testing.com admin_password: EOF ) juju deploy wordpress-k8s --config initial_settings=$WORDPRESS_SETTINGS ``` You can verify your initial WordPress settings by navigating to ​​the general settings page in WordPress (`http:///wp-admin/options-general.php`). You can also pass in the wordpress-k8s `configuration.yaml` file with the parameters above. See how to pass in a configuration file in the [Juju documentation](https://canonical.com/juju/docs/juju-cli/3.6/howto/manage-applications/#manage-applications).
