Dusting off the database

By , 21 Mar 2010 3:48 am

I just wanted to make a quick pointer to an article which has saved me a bit of hair pulling. I’ve become interested in pretending to blog again, and I dusted off my WordPress installation. So far I’ve been lucky because no one reads this blog, not even the bots… but I wanted some extra security.

While I was updating the WordPress table names I wound up locking myself out of the system. This manifests itself as the following error when you log in:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Luckily, the exact fix is contained here:

Namely, there are some database table names buried in a few settings within the database. Thus it takes more than a wp-config file update to switch table names!
