Create a Database within phpMyAdmin
In order for WordPress to work, you will need to create a database that will connect with the WordPress File Structure.
Whenever you make changes or do updates, the database will collect all relevant information. When backing up your
website, it’s crucial to make a backup of the database file as well. (.sql)
Start WAMP Server by clicking on the desktop icon or the shortcut you created.
From the system tray, select the ‘W’ and left click.
Select phpMyAdmin from the list of options.
This will open phpMyAdmin – the place where you
can create, edit or delete databases.
The following window should open in your internet browser.
By default, there shouldn’t be any databases listed as you did a fresh install. However, if you already have a database, it
will be shown in the left pane. Whenever you want to edit or delete a database, you can choose it directly from the left
pane.
On the top is the menu – click on the word ‘Databases’ as shown with the arrow.
