Use WordPress platform with personal database
-
Hello everybody,
I wanted to ask whether is it possible to use all the WordPress functionality but instead of using the MySQL database provided by WordPress, use my own database and therefore reproducing in my DB server the DB schema as described in http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description.
If you think about any other better solution that is conformed to this constraint (DB stored in my personal server) please feel free to propose.
Thanks in advance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. If you have a self-hosted WordPress.ORG blog, you should ask instead at http://wordpress.org/support
You are currently in a WordPress.COM forum and our answers will not apply to your situation (mostly because we don’t handle databases ourselves here). Thanks and I hope you find an answer to your question soon.

Thanks for the answer! I actually have a .COM blog. Shall I switch to .ORG in order to have the support that I require? Thanks

WordPress.com bloggers cannot manage the database themselves. What you are trying to do, if possible at all, can probably be done only if you are self-hosted. Try asking at the WordPress.org forums before making any switch. Good luck!

Ok, I checked the .ORG website and I understand what you meant. I am of course self-hosted, thanks for the tip!
