Files

Copy the main ludicrousdb plugin folder & its contents to either:

  • wp-content/plugins/ludicrousdb/
  • wp-content/mu-plugins/ludicrousdb/

It does not matter which one; LudicrousDB will figure it out. The folder name should be exactly ludicrousdb. Be careful when you do "Download ZIP" from github and unzip.

Drop-ins

WordPress supports a few "drop-in" style plugins, used for advanced overriding of a few specific pieces of functionality.

LudicrousDB includes 3 basic database drop-ins:

  • db.php <-> wp-content/db.php - Bootstrap for replacement $wpdb object
  • db-error.php <-> wp-content/db-error.php - Endpoint for fatal database error output to users
  • db-config.php <-> ABSPATH/db-config.php - For configuring your database environment

You'll probably want to copy these files to their respective locations, and modify them once you're comfortable with what they do and how they work.
