Using a security plugin, the recommendation given was "Your table prefix should not be wp_" The plugin does say to change the prefix. I'm just wondering if bloggers actually do this...as the plugin does have a warning that there could be loss of data.
if someone had access to your db, i doubt it would make a difference what tabe prefix u use, however it would make it easier to find/identify by using the default
I ended up backing up all the settings, deleting the database, recreating it without using wp_ and then importing all the settings again. From what I read, the purpose of moving away from wp_ was to prevent random script injection that auto looks for wp_ It took a while and some stuff didn't export/import like I would have wished, but I'm done now, have a strong prefix, and hopefully piece of mind.
Awesome and congrats then. Lol. I'm sure it was quite a bit of work, but hey anything for a piece of mind.
For pre-existing blogs, that was the recommended process, but there were no step by step instructions. I'm not overly familiar with SQL and figured it would be just as quick to just reinstall....it actually would have been if I didn't run into issues with a couple of the plugins.
