Cannot find my Pages in the database

  • I am just learning how to use WordPress. I have created a database called WP and generated two blog items and two pages. The blogs and pages display OK but cannot find where they are stored in the structure of the database.
    I read that they should be in a folder called wp-pages but cannot find it anywhere. Can anybody point me in the correct direction?
    Thank you.

  • Databases do not have folders, they have tables. Pages and posts are stored in the wp_posts table.

    My question is: Where do I find the wp_posts table (or folder?) in the WordPress database structure?. I looked everywhere and cannot find it.

    In between wp_postmedia and wp_terms.

    or folder?

    There are NO folders in databases! I suspect you might be looking in the WP folder (that contains the WP files), instead of the database. Are you logged into PHPMyAdmin to view the database?

    You hit it on the nail. I was looking in the WP folder and assumed that the database(s) were stored there. I looked all over the files and folder on the website and couldn’t find it. So the database(s) must be stored in a location that even as administrator cannot find.

    You would log into your hosts cpanel (or the equivelent) to access PHPMyAdmin which is where you will find your database.
