WordPress stores posts, pages, settings, users, plugin data, and other information in a database. WP Toolkit provides quick access to database details and phpMyAdmin.
- Open cPanel → Domains → WP Toolkit.
- Find the website and open the Database tab.
- Review the database name, table prefix, database user, and related information.
- Use Open in phpMyAdmin when you need direct database access.
Use phpMyAdmin carefully. Direct edits, deletes, or imports can break a site or permanently remove information. Create a backup before changing production data.
Changing database credentials
WP Toolkit can change the database credentials used by the WordPress installation and update the WordPress configuration accordingly. Avoid manually changing only the database user's password without also updating the matching values in wp-config.php, because WordPress will no longer be able to connect.
A working database password does not need to be changed on a routine schedule unless there is a security or access-management reason to do so.
