How to Change WordPress Theme via phpMyadmin
- Login to the cPanel, look for the Databases section and click on phpmyadmin
- Select your WordPress database. (If you aren’t sure which database to select, check your wp-config.php file in the root location of your WordPress installation). In this example, I'm using my Wordpress database "joshipro_wptest1".
- Expand the database and select the ‘wp_options’ table (if you have another table prefix ‘tableprefix_options’). In this example, my wp_options is wptest1_options
- Select page 2 from the tables header.
- Now you’ll need to click 'Edit' to make change on the ‘template’ and ‘stylesheet’ rows.
- Insert in the name of the template you wish to assigned to the WordPress e.g. twentyseventeen and press “Go” when you are done as per below.
- Repeat the same step 6 for the other row and that's all. You've completed the changes. You may clear cache and browse your WordPress site now to check on it.
