Notes
- This plugin has been started from 2018 year, and we have no connections to the old ageโs vulnerable wp-phpMyAdmin plugin (published elsewhere by 3rd party scammers) . So, this current plugin is just a wrapper for official phpMyAdmin release and depends itself on the realiability & security of the
phpMyAdminitself. Also, initially we wanted to put PhpMyAdmin released.zipfile untouched (to ensure the checksums are same) and unpack that.zipdirectly upon pluginโs installation, but unfortunately WordPress Plugin Team didnโt allow to put.zipfile in the package (saying that SVN doesnโt like working with.zipfiles). Thus, we had to submit extracted PMA (but still original & untouched) to the repository. - PHP >= 7.2.5 is required to for phpMyAdmin latest version (otherwise you will have option to use older version of PMA, which is not encouraged to be used).
- For the reason to make it compact, some unnecessary files (language files, OpenLayer/GIS map lib, extra themes, etc) are removed.
- Itโs recommended, that you enable the plugin only while you need to use PhpMyAdmin. Otherwise, for longer periods, you can deactivate plugin.
Liability
We are not developers of PhpMyAdmin itself, neither affiliated with them. We just made this plugin as a wrapper (container) of official PhpMyAdmin, to make it possible to be installed as a WP plugin. However, we donโt monitor PhpMyAdmin packageโs source code itself. We take no responsibility about this plugin. Use it at your own responsibility (However, as itโs also visible in stats, thousands of users are using this extendion and only few people have complained about errors).
