    Hi berserk77,
    Can you ask your hosting provider if you have mysqli installed on your server?
    If it is, check if it is properly enabled in your php.ini file – see this:

    thanks wpsolutions, i was suprised to find that it was not installed on the server by my host provider, after i installed it , i cud change the db prefix now .

    I would like to know if anytime in future will i be able to safely change the db prefix back to “wp” without any prob ?

    Hi berserk77 you can change it back to wp_, of course you would create a backup just in case something went wrong.

    However I would never recommend to change it back to wp_. Hackers are aware of wp_ database prefix especially in WordPress websites.

    Regards

    If you wanted to change your DB prefix back to “wp_”, you can with this plugin. No issue there.
