At the same time, it has a multitude of options to listen to your favorite music and it is even quite simple to throw the seat back and let go.
However, if you have a car and you don’t know much about mechanics, surely you have ever felt that feeling of overwhelm and helplessness when you get into your car and it doesn’t start. Or you are driving and suddenly it stops. You know that it has to be a problem of “something inside”, but, since you have never learned mechanics, you have to take it to the workshop and spend good money to fix it.
Exactly the same thing happens with a website made with WordPress. Everything goes very well (especially at the beginning), but it is almost inevitable that when you visit your website one day because you want to create a new post or after installing a new plugin, an error such as “syntax error blah blah blah” or do not charge as it should charge.
It is a very bitter feeling and sometimes the solution to the error is found in a small change in the (the one used to install WordPress), and where each and every one of the data that appears on your website is written, spread over several tables that we will see in this post.
On the downside, I think that more than 80% of users of users trust how well our favorite CMS works, but very few people (except developers, of course) have cared about it. understand WordPress databaseother than creating one to install it manually and writing the information to the wp-config.php file.
Throughout this post we are going to see the 12 tables that come by default with any WordPress installation, how they are related to each other and try to remove once and for all that fear of touching that important part of our website.
I am going to try to explain each one of them with a non-technical language, so that they are well understood, and of course, I include videos that explain each table in a little more detail.
By the end of reading the article, not only will you understand WordPress better and you will be a little more professional in its use, but you will never see this CMS in the same way again, since you will perfectly understand how its guts work.
