I am trying to set up my WordPress project, and I am using WampServer. In phpMyAdmin, I simply tried to create a new database, but I got this error : #1044 - Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'wp'. I never had this problem before.

In WAMPServer when you run phpMyAdmin you are shown a login screen.
By default :
The Username = root
And the Password is not set so you should not enter a password in the Password field.
Then press the Go button to login.
This will log you in as the root SuperUser, who can do anything on a MySQL Server.
If you leave the Username blank, like it appears you did, you are logged in as an annonymous user with no rights to do anything much at all.

Login to the web console for phpMyAdmin and navigate to the wp database
Click on the SQL tab and paste this code:
grant all privileges on wp.* to user@localhost identified by 'PASSWORD'; flush privileges; \q
Change the user's credentials to match your config, then Click Ok and it should work!
You can read more about GRANT's syntax at MySQL's site.
Hope it helps!
