    I would like to know if there are any problems with changing the default MySQL database table prefix wp_. Changing the prefix is recommended for security. If there are no problems then how do I change the prefix and what should I set up for a new prefix?

    You can do so in wp-config.php
    or during WordPress installation.

    If you have already installed WordPress, then you have to rename tables in your database according to new prefix, convenient way is to use phpMyAdmin,

    what should I set up for a new prefix?

    Yui – thanks for your reply. I was wondering how my WP site would recognize a new database table prefix. Makes sense to change it in wp-config.php.
