    I changed the database prefix using your plugin last year. I have to uninstall your plugin completely and will end up installing it again in the future.

    I would like to keep the database prefix name as is, if possible.

    Would it be recommended to just uninstall iThemes Security? Do I have to change it the database name back to the original first before uninstalling?

    Thank you so much.

    No problem. Just deactivate and then delete.

    No need to change back the database table prefix. This is typically a permanent change. The plugin does not provide a way to undo the change anyway. Usually a database backup is recommended before changing the database table prefix. Should anything go wrong during the change you can simply restore the backup.
