Mysql – ny way to disable grouping databases in phpMyAdmin

MySQLphpmyadmin

If you have db names like

test_db1
test_db2

phpmyadmin would create a group test. The group appears in the left side-bar with related databases displayed under it.

How can I disable this feature?

I know this is something old -- so I'm posting here just in case someone stumbles in the same question.

In the latest versions of phpMyAdmin the setting to flip is NavigationTreeEnableGrouping, i.e. in config.inc.php set:

$cfg['NavigationTreeEnableGrouping'] = false;

p.s. on localhost, config.inc.php is placed in /phpmyadminX.XX/ folder

Or, for a "current session only", you can do it from phpmyadmin STARTPAGE: click settings -> navigation panel -> uncheck "group items in tree"
