WordPress still using MyISAM, is changing to InnoDB necessary?

InnoDB is a more efficient. Is it necessary to change? No. Worthwhile? Probably.

If this is your own server, you should also be checking the tuning of your MySQL DB using a tool like mysql-tuner.pl.

Do you know how can I change from MyISAM to InnoDB for a WordPress server? And, I have access to the dedicated VPS.

Thanks,

@sterndata I do get a lot of people recommending me to mysql-tuner.pl, but my question is why do I need to use it? I mean old server everything was working great, and immediately after changing server issues started appearing with the same traffic and load.

If you want your server to work well, you need to tune it.
