    I’m currently facing an issue with Cerber Security plugin while trying to use multiple WordPress installations with a single database. The problem specifically lies in Cerber not respecting the $table_prefix configuration.

    Even though I have defined different table prefixes in the wp-config.php files of each WordPress installation, Cerber continues to use the “cerber_” prefix for all tables in the shared database.

    The issue arises from your attempt to develop multiple WordPress websites without robust security measures. If one of these websites is compromised or infected, the others are likely to face the same fate due to their interconnected nature. A more secure practice is to maintain a separate database for each website. However, keep in mind that using separate databases alone is not a foolproof solution. There are many other important security practices that should be in place, such as keeping software updated, using strong passwords, and implementing regular security scans, among others.
