Run multiple data base
-
Hi,
I have already a WordPress website on my hosting, and the data base prefix is the basic wp_
I would like to install a second WordPress using the same database. I know that I have to use a different prefix for the new website, but my question is, do I have to change the data base prefix of the first website already in place? The wp_ ?
Will that break the old website to create a new one with a different prefix if I don’t make a change to the old database?
If I have to do it, a link to a good tutorial will be appreciated because I know how to start from scratch but not how to modify the whole old database in place.Thanks for your help!

You certainly can. But why do you want to do this? Hosting restriction?n

No, you don’t have to. As long as the prefixes for the two sites are different, you should be OK.
You may want to change the existing
wp_to something random to improve security, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you want to use the same database for another website. If you want to change this, most of the security plugins can do this for you with a single click.
