 * I have a theme that I am uploading to wp themes. However I cannot figure out 
   how to get our theme to generate its own sql prefix and url.
 * Currently users have to manually edit the sql prefix.
 * I know there is an automated process thay accures during install, but i cant 
   seem to get it to work.
 * Any help is greatly appreciated.

 * Do you mean that in your code you are querying the database using the `wp_` prefix?
   If you’re querying the database in a theme or plugin you should be using `$wpdb`
   and use `$wpdb->prefix` to get the user’s database prefix.
