A WP-CLI command to rename WordPress' database prefix.
wp package install iandunn/wp-cli-rename-db-prefix
wp rename-db-prefix <new_prefix>
wp rename-db-prefix <new_prefix> [--dry-run] [--no-prompt] [--no-config-update]
You will be prompted for confirmation before the command makes any changes unless using --no-prompt flag.
Using the --no-config-update option will not update your wp-config.php
(useful for non-standard environments).
Use this at your own risk. If something goes wrong, it could break your site. Before running this, make sure to back up your wp-config.php
file and run wp db export
.
A lot of the code is based on iThemes Security.
