I took a backup of my site using cpanel as i was moving hosts. When i went to transfer everything over all the tables are there accept the wp_ ones like wp_options. Is there a way I can save the rest of my db and its data but add the wp_ tables back? I have already tried deleting all the tables and reuploading via phpmyadmin but that didn’t work. I have since lost access to the original host so all i have is the full backup of all the files (or i guess all the files accept the wordpress ones).
]]>First you can manually snipe out old plugins databases, then you can one click optimize everything.
Gladly recommand
]]>When I look at the right side of my table list in phpMyAdmin in the new host I see mostly utf8_general_ci under collation but there are a few that use utf8mb4_unicode_ci. When I look at Databases or Operations in phpMyAdmin it appears that utf8mb4_unicode_ci is the default collation. Do I need to change the default to utf8_general_ci to match most of my existing tables?
Do wp-config.php settings take priority over the settings in phpMyAdmin? My previous host was experimenting with my websites and made changes to my wp-config.php file. They added define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”); line and edited the define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ”); in some cases adding a language when that line was completely missing previously.
I need advice for both phpMyAdmin settings and the wp-config.php file edits.
]]>I looked at your suggested link in my previous post about collation but considering that I’m very ignorant about databases, it didn’t help me much. I have been exploring phpMyAdmin and reading about collation settings but can’t find any answers about how to set phpMyAdmin collation settings after migration.

]]>With the latest update on Form Vibes (I think it was last month), my site is broken. There were no issues prior to the update and everything was working as expected. Nothing has been changed in terms of plugins (nothing new installed or removed) or content since before the last update.
I’ve tried looking for potential solutions online but was unable to find one. I also got in touch with our hosting provider, Bluehost, but they were unable to assist on plugin issues and asked me to get in touch with the plugin provider directly or post here in the forum.
This is what I received in the email:
Howdy!
Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.
In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Form Vibes.
First, visit your website (https://tradebeee.com/staging/4508/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (https://tradebeee.com/staging/4508/staging/4508/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=) and check for any visible issues.
Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.
If your site appears broken and you can't access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special "recovery mode". This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.
https://tradebeee.com/staging/4508/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode&rm_token=ut5K09YWHgtFGssPDCioz0&rm_key=nUXBTiYdiLGdo3aC65mB3g
To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don't worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires.
When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
WordPress version 5.8.1
Current theme: Hello Elementor (version 2.4.1)
Current plugin: Form Vibes (version 1.4.1)
PHP version 7.0.33
Error Details
=============
An error of type E_PARSE was caused in line 29 of the file /home3/tradebee/public_html/staging/4508/wp-content/plugins/form-vibes/vendor/symfony/polyfill-php80/bootstrap.php. Error message: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE)
My first suspect is the System PHP version. I think that might be what is causing the issue. When speaking to Bluehost support, they said that the PHP version installed is 7.4 for the domain which is different from the version installed system-wide.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Surely multiple small dedicated databases would be better than one huge monster?
I understand that WP started out as just a blogging site and has grown into this multipurpose Frankenstein of a platform and changing it now would cause enormous grief for many plugin developers, but just an option to allocate a separate database to certain plugins would be great, IMO. (Especially WooCommerce)
]]>I’ve been using the free version of the plug-in for a few weeks now but I’m having trouble understanding the whole structure and can’t tell if I’m able to achieve what I want to or not:
What I have:
– I have the WP Database and another database.
– In the other DB I have these tables among others: Ticker, Ticker_inv and Source.
– Table Ticker_inv has Source_id and Ticker_name among other columns. In this table there’s a record for every Ticker per each Source_id, so you can find the same Ticker_id with different data depending on the Source.
In the Front-End side I want to:
– See the Ticker_inv table showing the Source name instead of ID.
– Have the rest of Ticker_inv columns as search filters to filter through the data.
Is it possible?
Can you please direct me to each subject I need to properly know about to achieve it?
Thank you very much,
Adrián.
