How Do I Change the Database in WordPress?

If you’re looking to change the database in WordPress, there are a few different ways to go about it. You can use the built-in WordPress database editor, or you can use a third-party database editor.

The best way to find out which database editor is best for you is to try a few out and see which one works best for you.

Once you have chosen a database editor, you will need to connect it to your WordPress site. You can do this by opening the database editor and clicking on the “Connect to WordPress” button. Once you have connected the editor, you will need to enter your WordPress site’s information into the editor.

This will include the site’s URL, the username and password, and the database name. Once you have entered the information, click on the “OK” button to connect the editor to your WordPress site.

Now that the editor is connected, you will need to make some changes to your WordPress site to reflect the new database. First, you will need to change the site’s settings to use the new database. To do this, open the WordPress site’s settings page and click on the “Databases” button.

Next, click on the “Add New Database” button and enter the name of the new database into the field that appears. Finally, click on the “OK” button to save the changes.

Now that the site is using the new database, you will need to make some changes to the WordPress code to reflect the new database. First, you will need to find the site’s wp-config.php file. This file contains the settings for your WordPress site, and you will need to make some changes to reflect the new database. To find the file, open your WordPress site’s folder on your computer and look for a file named wp-config.php.

Once you have found the file, open it and look for the line that contains the database name. Next, you will need to change the database name to the name of the new database that you created. To do this, you will need to replace the word “WordPress” with the name of the new database. Finally, you will need to change the line that says “wp_config” to say “wp_config_name”. Once you have made these changes, save the file and reload your WordPress site to ensure that the changes have been saved.

If you ever need to change the database in WordPress again, all you need to do is repeat the steps outlined in this article.
