 * not seeing this information here, i’d like to share
 * after altering the table prefix, you gotta run this SQL:
 * UPDATE `MYNEWPREFIX_usermeta` SET `meta_key` = REPLACE( `meta_key` , ‘wp_’, ‘
   MYNEWPREFIX_’ );
 * don’t remember where i found the solution… too much code these days… but i’ve
   been replacing various table prefixes without trouble

 * Remember to change the MYNEWPREFIX to whatever you changed the new prefix to 
   from “wp_”
