WordPress using lots of MYSQL dbases

    I’ve taken over supporting a WordPress based site. Looking in the website Control Panel it says we’re using 8 out 10 available MYSQL dbases.

    I think some of them may be from early tests (or possibly plugins?), but I can’t tell which. I’d like to delete the ones we’re not using in case we need them for something else.

    What’s the easiest way to see which dbases are actually being used by the site?

    It’s been suggested that I delete all the dbases and resinstall WordPress, but wanted to check if there’s a less drastic option.

    Thanks

  • Go to wp-config.php and see the name of database name and username you are using ….

    Thanks! I should have thought of that from using phpBB, but I didn’t!
