@Dayong Cao ,

Since you have posted the question on Azure App Service? I presume your WordPress webapp is hosted on Azure WebApp.

On App Service: The wp-config.php files can be updated using either Kudu console or FTP Client (such as FileZilla).

1. Browse to Kudu : http://”yoursitename”.scm.azurewebsites.net.

Example: if your Azure App Service Web App name is “testwebapp”, then surf to http://testwebapp.scm.azurewebsite.net

2. Click ‘Debug Console’ and select ‘CMD’

Traverse to wwwroot folder

3. For WordPress, update wp-config.php

-make necessary changes, and save.

Checkout these docs for more details on this:
