I was just looking through my database and notice that I have what appear to be duplicate tables with different prefixes. I <em>think<\/em> what happened was that I changed the prefix using this plugin, then later deleted the plugin which I think changed the prefix back to wp_ Is that what happens when you delete the plugin? Does the prefix go back to wp_? In any event, I just looked in my wp config file and the current prefix is indeed wp_ When the prefix gets changed, do the system duplicate all the existing tables with the new prefix? If that&#8217;s the case, can I drop all the other different prefix tables? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-17752352","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-database","topic-tag-duplicate","topic-tag-prefix","topic-tag-tables"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/17752352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/17752352\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17752352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
