Database Management
Accessing phpMyAdmin
Click "Open phpMyAdmin" from your site dashboard to launch the database manager pre-authenticated. From here you can run SQL queries, browse tables, and import or export your database.
Database Credentials
Your database host, name, username, and password are in the site's Settings tab under Database. You'll need these for WP-CLI, external tools like TablePlus, or when editing wp-config.php manually.
Importing a Database
To import a .sql file, open phpMyAdmin, select your database, go to Import, and upload your file. For files larger than 256 MB, use WP-CLI from the terminal: wp db import dump.sql.
Exporting / Backing Up the Database
In phpMyAdmin go to Export, choose Quick in SQL format, and download. Alternatively run wp db export from the terminal for a clean dump you can version-control or transfer easily.
Remote Database Connections
Remote MySQL access is disabled by default to prevent unauthorised connections. Contact support to enable it temporarily with IP whitelisting if you need to connect from an external tool like TablePlus.
