How to use a single database on multiple wordpress instalations

23. Aug, 2009 2 Comments


If you need more than one WordPress installation but for some reason you must use only one MySQL Database (eg.  Your host might have limited you database allowance), then the solution is installing multiple WordPress platforms in one database.

In order to make it work, you must do a manual installation because most programs (like Fantastico) wont let you choose the desired prefix. During the installation, when you have to edit the config.php, you have to change the “wp_” prefix in order to allow multiple instalation ( eg. It can be “wpalex_” and the next one “wpblog2_” and so on).

table prefix

That’s it!
