Hi My wordpress site is saying that there is an error with the espresso database since an update, and my whole site is now playing up. I have to keep diactivating the plugin so the site can work but this means then events are switched off. Can you advise whats the best solution? Thanks Melanie |

The error is stated An error has potentially occured while attempting to update some of the information in your database. Please contact Event Espresso Customer Service so that they may look further into this matter and ensure that all data is correct |
Hi Melanie, Which version of Event Espresso are you using? Which version of WordPress are you using? That error usually means the DB user for your site does not have the correct privileges so EE can’t update the database correctly. Did you make any changes to the site to cause the notice to be thrown? |

Event Espresso version 3.1.37.7.P |

I have not intentionally made changes to the site, this only started happening thursday last week. I am logged in as an administrator on the site and so there shouldnt be permission issues. |
Did you update EE to trigger that notice? The function that displays that notice is only ran when EE is attempting to migrate the data from one format to another. So I’m just trying to figure out what caused the function to run.
That’s your user account permissions which is different from the database user your site uses. |

I did try and upgrade the site to EE4 which failed so I left it as it was, but that was a few weeks ago and I havent done anything since. The events were working fine in EE3 after that. Melanie |

Hi Whats the best way to move forward with this? Can I role back or is there a script I can run to look at the resolving the issue? Melanie |
Hi Melanie, We logged in and took a look at the site and logged some errors. The reason that you’re not able to activate or deactivate plugins is because the WordPress options table needs to be repaired. Here’s the error message that appears throughout the log file (with server details removed)
Once the table is repaired your site’s plugins page and anything else that writes to the options table (like EE3) will be able to function again. It looks like this site is hosted on Siteground, so you can run the repair script by logging into your account and following this guide: https://www.siteground.com/kb/how_to_repair_a_mysql_database/ |
