WordPress is a giant platform that allows its users lots of advantages by providing multiple features & functionalities. One of them is automatic database repairing. But by default, the feature is turned off.

To enable this feature you just need to add a little bit of changes in your code. Add the following line to your WordPress configuration file.

define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);

Next, you have to visit the repair.php file through your URL in order to optimize and repair the WordPress database. For instance,

http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php

Here, yoursite.com means your site or respective site. The yoursite.com will be replaced by the respective site domain.

You don’t just need to log in again to make sure about the repairing. It’s pretty cool and simple.
