Anyone has experience installing CiviCRM in Wordpress? I tried to follow the installation guide but I come with this problem, Google doesn't offer much help. It comes with an error in the database name "The database name provided is not valid. Please use only 0-9, a-z, A-Z, _ and - as characters in the name." Any help or direction to get help will be appreciated.Error when running the installer

I edited an added the db name

For whatever reason, Civi requires it to have at least one letter (lower case or upper doesn't matter).

See https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/5.29.1/CRM/Core/DAO.php#L2992
