2. 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".

3. 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




4. Select page 2 from the tables header.
