    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction here;

    I've been going through my Wordpress install, learning lots about how to shore up security. One of the key things they recommend, is changing the db_prefix in the config file. I have been able to handle all of that as well as make necessary changes to the databases themselves in MySql. Everything is working (so far as I can tell!) with all my wordpress pages.

    However, because I am doing this as kind of a retro-fit to my WP install, obviously my aMemeber installation was done with the default wp_ prefix. Which means now when I try to access an aMember page, login for example, I get a database error. Does anyone know what file and/or database I need to target and modify within the aMember install, in order to point the databases to the new WP db prefix?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciate! :)

    I have never had to do this, but I think changing the WordPress prefix on the WordPress configuration page and saving the page would work.
