Prefix

    Hi everyone,

    For security reasons I’ve changed my database prefix in the past. But I just discovered that you can’t create a new multisite network when the prefix isn’t wp_. I noticed it when I wanted to create a new network. The screen stays blank. I tried the same thing with a clean wordpress installation that has a basic wp_ prefix and there it worked just fine.

    So my question is if it’s still possible to create a network with a different prefix.

    Thank you!

    I can’t vouch for every circumstance, host, etc. – but I always use custom prefixes and have never had a problem creating a multisite network. Just did it this afternoon, actually.

    When you say “the screen stays blank” – what step in the process are you talking about?

    Never mind Phil, I solved it by replace the wp installation with a new copy. I thought the prefix was the problem but it were the files.

    thanks anyway.

    Btw I ment the screen where you can setup a new network. The page where you can decide if you want subdomains and so on.
