WordPress custom table prefix doesn't work

[G3n3]

Adding a custom prefix to the connection params does not override the prefix used to lookup tables. The wp_ prefix is hardcoded in corcel.

i.e.

$params = array(
'database' => DB_NAME,
'username' => DB_USER,
'password' => DB_PASSWORD,
'host' => DB_HOST,
'prefix' => 'abc_'
);

Will generate PDO exceptions like: 'mydb.abc_wp_postmeta' doesn't exist' in ...

Should perhaps be looking for "abc_postmeta" and not "abc_wp_postmeta" for example.

you can change the prefix thing, but it'll take a few minutes of looking up all those prefixes in all those files, if you need it for security do it, if not it'll be easier to change them in phpmyadmin to wp_

Yeah easy fix. Just thought i'd log it in case you wanted to change the default behavior.

Thanks.
