I’ve changed a local site to a different DB by (a) first renaming the DB in Adminer and then (b) updating wp-config.php of the relevant website. Then I’ve restarted DevKinsta, to propagate the change to relevant modules.
However, **DevKinsta does not fetch the DB name from wp-config** , but from some other source. It still displays the old/invalid DB name in the sites “Database” section. As a result, I get an error when I click on the “Manage Database” button.
Question: **How can I update the DB name in DevKinsta** to get the correct Adminer URL?
Here’s a sample screenshot - here I’ve simply changed the DB name to lowercase:

I’ve found a way to make those changes, by editing the internal config file `~/Library/Application Support/DevKinsta/config.json` 🙂
The DB Name of each site is at the location `root \ sites [index] \ database \ name`.
In this thread, I’ve added some more notes on editing the config file: [Sorting, Filtering, or Ordering Sites on DevKinsta - #5 by philippstracker](https://community.kinsta.com/t/sorting-filtering-or-ordering-sites-on-devkinsta/598/5)
