Database?

    Hello

    I am helping a friend out with a new website. He has a current live Joomla site and I am replacing it with a new WordPress one. I have created a new folder inside the root folder and put all the wordpress files in there. I want to do this way so that the joomla site can stay live whilst I work on the WordPress site and then once it is complete I can remove the folders related to the old website.

    Once all the wordpress files were in place I was taken to this page wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php that’s asks me for Database details, and this is where I am stumped? Do I need to create a database for the WordPress site? and if so will it be ok having two databases there? (one for the joomla site and one for the wordpress site?) If I do have to create a database how do I go about it?

    Do I need to create a database for the WordPress site?

    yes.

    will it be ok having two databases there? (one for the joomla site and one for the wordpress site?)

    should be so long both are independent installs with separate directories and database.

    There is also this guide for migrating content from Joomlaa: https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#Joomla

    Hi

    It’s not necessary to create separate database for WordPress. You can use same database. The default prefix of wordpress database is different from Joomla.

    Thanks
