    I wanted to increase the security of my website, and so I replace wp_ with another prefix in wp-config.php and then I renamed it in my database. It didn’t work, so I tried renaming it back, but it’s messed up. My site isn’t accessible.

    And the worst thing about it is that I did not BACK-UP! Please help ooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭

    What is the prefix, as you see it in your database? Can you post a screen shot of the list of tables?

    Also, changing the prefix will not change how secure your site is. That’s not how you increase security.
