How do I change the database in Joomla?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:42 am

Joomla! is a popular content management system that enables users to create and manage their own websites. The system is free to use, and users can download it from the official website.

Joomla! is based on the open source content management system WordPress, and both systems are very similar.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to change the database for your Joomla site, it is important to take a full backup of your site first. This will ensure that you have a copy of your site and data in case something goes wrong during the process.

To change the database in Joomla!, first log in to the system and click on the “Administration” tab. Then, click on the “Databases” button and select the “Joomla!” database from the list.

To make changes to the database, click on the “Edit” button and fill in the required information. Finally, click on the “Save” button to apply the changes.

When you’re finished making changes to the database, click on the “Close” button to exit the Administration tab. Congratulations! You’ve successfully changed the database in Joomla!.
