 * I am helping out on a sports clubs website and I am looking to add some MySQL
   table, that I can reference via some PHP pages. I have used PHPMyAdmin previously,
   but never when the website is also hosted by WordPress, only one that I have 
   connected to through cPanel on the hosting site.
    I am unsure about which route
   I should be taking with it. I have installed the WP-phpMyAdmin plugin, however
   it states for the manual login of the ‘phpMyAdmin in your wp’ section, it states
   to get the DB Password from wp-config.php. My issue being that I cannot see the
   file system, due to it being on WordPress. I have installed ARI Adminer plugin
   to see if I can find a password for the database. I think I may have found it,
   but am now getting an ‘Failed to set session cookie. Maybe you are using HTTP
   instead of HTTPS to access phpMyAdmin.’ error, when trying to use the supplied
   database credentials. I’m somewhat confused as to the best options for the site.
   Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks in Advance

 * You don’t need two plugins for the same thing. ARI Adminer works fine by itself.
 * It would be best if your PHP accessing your tables ran as a WP plugin, using 
   the built-in database object and its features. You will need to figure out how
   to get your output into the WordPress pages anyway.

 * Hosting at WordPress dot com?
 * I kind of doubt WordPress dot com is going to give you access to their database
   except via the WordPress install itself.
 * You can always ask them though.
 * If this is a commercial host though then try wP file manager to get the credentials
   from wp-config.php since you don’t have a control panel.
