I need to change the database used in one of my local sites. I’m using a different database (with different user and pass) found on my wp\_config file. The new database also exists in adminer. But Dev Kinsta still display and use the old database. How to change that and switch to my other existing database.

I found a way to do this in mac here: [Update the DB name in DevKinsta, after updating it in wp-config?](https://community.kinsta.com/t/update-the-db-name-in-devkinsta-after-updating-it-in-wp-config/934) but I’m currently using windows.

Hi @Rosalito_Udtohan, thanks for reaching out!. You’ll need to update the config.json. On Windows that can be found here:

`C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DevKinsta`
