 * Hi Paul,
 * Your plugin is really great and it works better than the ones I’ve checked (and
   there are a few).
 * I have an error that persists and I don’t really know what it’s about. it says:
 * > WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘uid’ in ‘where clause’]
   >  SELECT *
   > FROM wp_achievements WHERE uid = 1 AND points != ” AND points != 0 ORDER BY
   > id DESC LIMIT 5
 * Do you know what is it about? how can i fix it?
 * Many thanks in advance,
    Lior

 * Hi
 * No versions of my Achievements plugin has a database table called “wp_achievements”
   with a column, “uid”. The old 2.x versions had a table like that, but no column
   with that name.
 * Can you confirm which plugin you’re using, and which version of that plugin you
   have? Thank you.

 * When I first built the website I had one of the older versions of the plugin 
   installed (probably 2.X), before I stopped using it and tried to experiment with
   other gamification plugins.
 * The version I’ve got now is 6.10 (I’ve purchased the pro version).
 * Thanks

 * I don’t have a version 6.10 of my Achievements plugin, and I don’t sell any pro
   version; you must be getting the plugins mixed up. You need to go back to where
   you bought the plugin, and find the proper support route/forums.
 * Good luck — and remember, if you ever want to try out another achievement/gamification
   plugin… 🙂
 * @ mods: can this topic be locked, please? It’s referring to some other plugin.
