 * Hi,
 * I replaced the table prefix ‘wp_’ with another prefix as recommanded.
    But in
   the _usermeta table I have several meta_key with the prefix wp_ as: wp_backwpup_dinotopt_become_inpsyder
   wp_backwpup_dinotopt_beta_tester wp_backwpup_dinotopt_pro_discount wp_inpsyde_phchide_BackWP7aa9910f7c6482e1
 * Must I replace wp_ with my prefix in these values or not?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@jdy68](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdy68/), no, these do not need
   to be replace, as they are not referring to tables. You should be just fine as-
   is. 🙂
