Error Information

If you are using Lolipop server, you may see the following error. This is caused by a long database name, so you can solve it with a plugin.

Maximum allowed database prefix is 16 characters.

Please change the database prefix, deactivate and activate plugin again.

Reference sites

https://def-4.com/change-table-prefix/

https://www.hiskip.com/wp/plugin/site-manage/database/change-prefix/9218.html

Brozzme DB Prefix is a little newer. If it doesn't automatically rewrite the wp-config file, it will be troublesome later on, so if you temporarily change the permissions of the wp-config file to 700, which allows you to write and execute, you can change the database prefix smoothly.

Unable to connect to calendar

If you have performed Google sync using the integration but the employee settings display a message that says they cannot connect to the calendar, there may be old calendar connection information remaining in the database, causing a problem.

This can be resolved by deleting the relevant employee data in the [wp_amelia_providers_to_google_calendar] table in the database and re-registering it.
