Hello !
Just as the title says, not really big feature but avoid the mistake of changing table prefix in wp-config.php before importing a website in production (using bash script) which has its own.

Hello again @dw4y
Thank you once again for your feature request suggestion and feedback.
I will also pass this on to our internal devs team so they can check/review this request, and see if itโs something that can be implemented in the future. Again we canโt promise anything yet ๐ (and as I mentioned before that when new feature(s) is/are available, we will [announce it with the new DevKinsta version release](https://community.kinsta.com/t/devkinsta-releases-minor/371/15) ).
Cheers,
Agus

Hey @dw4y, just to clarify, your feature request is regarding being able to choose the database prefix of a **new** site you are creating in DevKinsta, or about being able to change the DB prefix when importing a site from Kinsta to DevKinsta?
Regards,
Alessandro

Yes itโs just when creating a website so the tables have the right prefix when importing an external SQL.
Not after install, which is a personnal problem ๐
