I've two wordpress websites : - One online in FTP folder "www", for this website everything's ok ! - The second website is on localhost for the moment.

I would like to put the second website on the same database that the first "coreevenuh" but with table_prefix different "wp2_" What the step I've to follow ?

I've try many options but no way...

Here are the steps I've followed: -Download .sql local database -Open .sql local database, change every wp_ to wp2_ , every localhost/wordpress to domainname.com (my domain name). -Go on phpmyadmin.ovh to import my .sql, so I've every tables with wp2_ -Open config.php, change nothing from the first website online, just $table_prefix = 'wp2_'; -Upload every files on Filezilla in www2 folder.

Have I to make the Wordpress installation before or after to import .sql on phpmyadmin ?

Please tell me what I'm making wrong, I've a problem with profile when I want to connect to wp-admin...

UPDATE : My problem is "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page." when I try to access to wp-admin

fix it :)

  • So you're asking essentially a migration question? You're correct the two installs must have separate table prefixes, though your www folder stuff is host specific, we can't advise on that, you'll need to contact your host. Can you confirm you're able to get a second working blank/empty WordPress install? If so that simplifies your question greatly

  • @TomJNowell Yes, I can. If i don't import .sql in phpmyadmin, I can see the wordpress page installation. But Have I to make the wordpress installation before or after to import .sql ? And the main page of the second website works, just redirection on other page don't seem to work... and wp-admin don't work, I don't have the permission with my user...

  • The installation installs the database tables, if you're doing an sql import it's irrelevant. If your import is succesful and you visit the site, then you won't be given the option to install. Eitherway your question should go back to the original problem you have: "I have a blank empty install of WordPress on my server, I need to move my content from my local machine to this install, how do I do it?" All this talk of multiple installs in the same databases and phpmyadmin is confusing

How to fix it ? Go in SQL and write this code :

UPDATE `wp2_usermeta` SET `meta_key` = REPLACE(`meta_key`, 'wp_', 'wp2_');
UPDATE `wp2_options` SET `option_name` = REPLACE(`option_name`, 'wp_', 'wp2_');
