 * I have a clean WordPress install using the Twenty Twenty-Two Version: 1.2 theme.
 * The only plugin installed is yours, ‘Make Paths Relative’.
 * In settings I checked the box for ‘Image Paths’.
 * Then changed the WordPress > Settings > General > Timezone from ‘London’ to ‘
   Los Angeles’
 * Then BOOM! the following error appears:
    **One or more database tables are unavailable.
   The database may need to be repaired.**
 * Upon investigation in myPHPAdmin we discovered that the _options table field ‘
   option_name’ > ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ were blank where the websites url should 
   be.
 * Once, we manually put in the URL into these fields, went back to the site, and
   refreshed; it worked again until we changed the timezone back again.
 * We also tested this on different web hosts, servers, and with different themes
   and were able to reproduce the behaviour.
