 * Hi Kristofferk,
 * Did you only change it in your wp-config.php file, or did you also change the
   table names in your database?

 * Could you try logging into DirectAdmin / your hosting control panel and open 
   phpMyAdmin? This way you can check if the prefix has also been changed in the
   actual database..

 * Hi again,
 * The admin.php is not what I meant.. you have to try to access **phpMyAdmin** 
   from your web hosting control panel.
 * There you can change the prefix in the actual database. If you don’t manage; 
   contact your web hosting company for support.

 * I changed the DB prefix in the wp-config.php to the same as in the phpMyAdmin.

 * Now i cannot login to my site.
    It says when i try to login to: [http://www.site/wp-login.php](http://www.site/wp-login.php)
   that I have not the sufficient permissions to access this page.
 * Is it something in the wp-confic.php?
