1. Log in to your HostPapa dashboard.

2. Click on My cPanel or My WordPress.

3. If you have more than one domain associated with your HostPapa account, click on the appropriate domain link, then enter your cPanel password if required.

4. From the Databases section, click on the phpMyAdmin icon.

5. In the narrow left column, select the database containing the table you wish to rename. The screen will refresh with all of the tables found in that database.

7. Click on the Operations tab. The screen will refresh again.
