Can't access dashboard after updating table prefixes

    I moved two sites from MediaTemple to WPEngine and in doing so I had to update the database table prefixes to “wp_” for either site to work.

    Changing the table prefixes seemed to have caused me to not have access to the dashboard. Is there something I can change in the database or somewhere else for this to not happen anymore? Thanks!

    Hi integritydesigns,
    Go to wp-config.php file and change the database prefix.
    As far as I remember it is $table_prefix variable.

    Thanks for the reply Vasyl. I looked at the wp-config.php file and the table prefix is correct, “wp_”.

    Is there anything else that it could be? Thanks!

    Most likely there are also parameters in wp_usermeta that starts with “wp_”. Find them and replace.
