wordpress table prefix change

 

Change table prefix

1.      Download all the wordpress site files and database(.sql) file

2.      Open wp-config.php file and change the current database credentials and change the $table_prefix name.

3.      Upload all the tables from .sql file to new database. Now select all the tables and right click and change table prefix name(rename).

4.      Change 2 tables value, assume your old prefix was ‘wp_’

UPDATE `wp_dart_usermeta` SET `meta_key` = REPLACE( `meta_key`, 'wp_', 'wp_dart_' );

 

UPDATE `wp_dart_options` SET `option_name` = 'wp_dart_user_roles' WHERE `option_name` = 'wp_user_roles';

 

5.      Now change 2 values more, go to ‘_options’ table of your new database and change the ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ url by new value.

6.      You can also set new password if you forgot old ones for wp-admin, for that go to ‘_users’ table and pass the new md5 hash key. For generating md5 hash use this website:  https://www.md5hashgenerator.com/
