Comments on: What Are The Original WordPress MySQL Tables?

Can you help me?

I had my blog up and running but made the stupid, stupid mistake of going into settings and I changing the extension (“computer”) to “tech”. Once I realised it didn’t work, I went back and renamed the site extension to “computer” but my site is being directed to “tech” My front page page is showing up but without the theme (although the site says the theme is installed). When I click on a page, I get the 404 message.

Is my problem in the MySQL datbase? If so, how do I fix it? I am in big trouble because I need this site up and running in about 18 hours time.

Any help would be appreciated. It goes without saying that I am an idiot for changing the file name.

Thanks in advance.

I have a blog on an old, old version, but when I tried to upgrade it “Crashed”. Thankfully, I did have everything backed-up and was able to return it to its original state. Unfortunately it has been hacked twice. I’m just too afraid to upgrade again. But, alas, I’ll have to try.

Good stuff, Gary. Just FYI, I referred Dayne Dylan from The Warrior Forum to your blog as he had questions about setting up a WP blog. I recommended your Starter Kit to him. Check out Monty's Mega Marketing's last blog post..Top Digg User Zaibatsu = Banned!

@Allyn, thanks for the kind words. Another thing to be careful of is the Wordpress Table Prefix, it throws some people off. The default is wp_, however, depending on your system it can be different. Example : wp_comments = wp_abcdefg_comments The [abcdefg] represents part of the prefix assigned to your tables. So each table Garry has listed, will also have the extra prefix as part of the name. The reason for this is twofold, running multiple blogs on a server and added security If you have just the standard prefix, it is much easier to get hacked, since the default is well known.

That's some good tech stuff there. I went the easy way and hired CyberCoder to go in and make things work well. That guy is good! On a side note, what the crap is this Yahoo Pipes thing I am going thru outta the feed reader? What are you cooking up Garry?

When all is said and done Garry what are the plugins you use or recommend as musts?

I’m looking at my blog and I’d swear I have 30 plugins in there that I’ve tried over time …. they’re still activated but going nowhere.

The problem with that is that additional tables in your database can cause your WordPress blog to become unstable and at times even unsecured.

I’m curious about why you say that. The number of tables per se—unless we’re talking about zillions—shouldn’t affect your database performance, and most security issues are on the PHP side of things.
