 * Hello,
    I receive a database error when trying to add a new course: [Table ‘Sql1005795_1.
   wp870_wpcm_courses’ doesn’t exist] SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM `wp870_wpcm_courses`
 * [Table ‘Sql1005795_1.wp870_wpcm_courses’ doesn’t exist]
    SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM`
   wp870_wpcm_courses`
 * [Table ‘Sql1005795_1.wp870_wpcm_courses’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT * FROM wp870_wpcm_courses
 * Is there a solution for this issue?
    Thank you.

 * Also getting the same error. I looked at the MySql database table and the *wpcm_courses
   table is not being generated. All the other tables are being generated however
   such as lecturers etc… It seems that the function that creates the table and 
   inserts the new record for a course is not getting the variable value to instigate
   the routine in the function do it. If we knew exactly what the column names are
   that the table creates, we could just create a new table with the columns and
   then see what the values are that are being saved. Then we can determine what
   variable is failing or not receiving the value required to create the table. 
   I am still looking at the code to find out what is going on exactly. My forte
   is not PHP. Maybe it’s a WP version conflict or a MySql version deficiency. I
   wanted to ask what the minimum versions of these environments does the plugin
   rely on. no specs define such however.
 * Need to know:
 * What version of PHP is required by the plugin.
 * What version of WP was this plugin intended for.
 * What version of MySql was this plugin intended to work on.
 * Is there mods to functions that can resolve this issue.

 * Yeah I think this plugin was intended to work on an old version of WordPress.
   I’m sure that it can be modified to work though.
