 * Hello I used a clean up plugin on my site. No it won’t connect. I get this error
   when trying to fix:
 * wp_posts: Table ‘twistand_wp284.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist
    wp_options: Table ‘twistand_wp284.
   wp_options’ doesn’t exist wp_postmeta: Table ‘twistand_wp284.wp_postmeta’ doesn’t
   exist
 * I have a backup from a plugin, but I have to login to WP to use it. Is there 
   anything that can be done or do I need to just reinstalll WP then try to restore
   from backup?
 * Thanks

 * Maybe the tables are still there, but corrupt. Repair them using PHPMYADMIN:
