How to know which database my WordPress uses

If you want to know which database your WordPress website is using, there are several ways to do it. Below, we provide a step-by-step guide to identify your WordPress site's database from the wp-config.php file of your WordPress:

 

The wp-config.php file is an important file in the WordPress installation, as it contains critical information about the database connection, as well as other configuration details. This file is usually located in the root of the WordPress installation. Access this file via FTP. We recommend doing it from webFTP.
