If you install Independent Analytics and see the message below, it means your database prefix is longer than 25 characters.
This can cause the tables created by Independent Analytics to exceed the 64-character limit enforced by MySQL. For that reason, it is required to shorten the DB prefix to less than 25 characters before using Independent Analytics.
The good news is that changing your DB prefix doesn’t require any technical skill, thanks to a very helpful plugin called Brozzme DB Prefix & Tools Addons.
Once you install this free plugin, you’ll find a new settings menu like this:
All you have to do is enter a new prefix into the New Prefix field and click the Change DB Prefix button.
The prefix can be anything you want, as long as it’s less than 25 characters. It’s also a standard convention to end it with an underscore.
Once the prefix is changed, revisit the Analytics menu and you should see the full dashboard load right away.
