Why do I have pke at the start of database files names instead wp?

    And what does it even mean?
    Like instead of wp_posts it’s pke_posts instead and the same goes for all plugins

    Anyone?

    Hi @goldio123,

    wp_ is the default database prefix on WordPress, but this can be changed to any other prefix. Such as pke_ in your case, which is likely a random prefix and doesn’t actually stand for anything.

    This could have been done automatically at the time when your site was created, or you might’ve changed this with a plugin; the former seems more likely here.

    I hope this short explanation helps.

    Kind regards, Jarno

    Hi Goldio,

    Random prefixes instead of the default wp_ is common on the shared hosting sites. I’m not sure where your site is hosted, but that is one explanation.

    It does not affect your site’s performance in any way.

    Hope that explanation helps.
