I just installed a new wordpress site via softalicious and noticed that instead of the database being $wpdb it is now $wpfb
Silly question I know, everything still works as expected, but I’ve googled it and no joy – when did the prefix change? What was the reasoning behind it? Just curious really. Does anyone know?
The prefix to the tables in the database do not matter.
Changing the actual $wpdb object completely to something else would be weird.
