If you have a Mac, I recommend that you use a free app called Sequel Pro However, PHPMyAdmin is not for the faint-hearted! So how do you access the database directly? Depending on your web host, you may be able to do it via your web host’s control panel, using a browser based tool called PHPMyAdmin. The result of this was that I was unable to login to the site’s Admin Control Panel nor was the site available for anyone else to see! I recently changed the theme on one of my sites and for whatever reason, the theme installation failed. I’ve also had several occasions where being able to access the database directly has been a life-saver. Again, I wanted this information stored in Excel. For each testimonial I needed the title, the text and the name of the person who submitted it. I needed a list of all the testimonials from the MacBites website. I wanted this information stored in an Excel file, one row for each post. For each post, I wanted the tutorial title, the date it was published and the URL. I needed a list of all the tutorials on The Excel Trainer (each tutorial is a post). Here’s a few examples of when I’ve done it: So when would you need to work directly with the database? Most of the time you create and manage your posts and blog/website configuration via the browser-based WordPress Control Panel.
Plugin information is often stored in the Options table too, although sometimes the installation of the plugin creates itself creates other tables.Īs I said at the start of this post (yes, what you are reading right now is a post on this blog!), there’s often no need to access the database directly. The Options table stores all the configuration information for the database including the website URL, the Administrator’s usernames and passwords (these are encrypted) and the name of the theme that is being used. Each record stores the name and email address of the person who submitted the comment, the date the comment was submitted and the ID of the post that the comment relates to The Comments table stores comments that people have submitted to your blog via the comments form that appears at the bottom of each post. Examples include an About Me page and a Contact page Pages are static entries and are not listed by date. For a site such as MacBites, the show notes for each episode are individual posts. For example on a site that contains tutorials, such as The Excel Trainer, each tutorial is a separate post. A post is an individual entry in your blog/website. The Posts table stores the actual content of each post or page on your blog/website. I’m not going to go into detail about the entire database but to give you some idea: There are 11 tables in the WordPress database (your database may have more if you have installed certain plugins). Each column is known as a field and has a name to identify it. A table consists of rows and columns (think of it as looking like an Excel worksheet). The WordPress database consists of tables.
However, when it comes to troubleshooting, having a basic understanding of it and being able to access it quickly and easily can save you time (and money) This command exposes information about our running containers or “services” in Lando terminology.An average website or blog owner will probably never need to fiddle with the WordPress database. Lando provides a useful command named info In this example I will be using the following. Note: This post also assumes that you are running Lando already. yml file.įor this article, we will create a sample project using composer's create-project command:Ĭomposer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev -stability dev -no-interaction You don’t even need to learn Docker in order to use it! Another advantage is that the configuration relies on a single. It provides a layer of abstraction to Docker and docker-compose, which are the tools that make everything work under the hood.
Lando has become a popular tool in the Drupal world.
