 * Any idea why I suddenly get this message when posting or when someone is posting
   a comment? The comment is posted but this error message is displayed. What would
   solve this?
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘growmerc_wrdp1.wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist]
   
   SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `wp_posts` p LEFT JOIN`
   wp_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `wp_categories` c ON pc.category_id
   = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY cat_ID
