 * Today, my site started saying there was trouble connecting to the database. After
   running the WordPress troubleshooter (suggested by wordpress itself, I added 
   a line of code to wp-config.php), this is the error log that came out if it:
 * wp_usermeta: 10 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_posts:
   26 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly wp_options: Table is
   marked as crashed wp_postmeta: 31 clients are using or haven’t closed the table
   properly wp_term_taxonomy: 2 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
   wp_term_relationships: 2 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
 * What does this mean and how should I solve it?
 * Thank you!!

 * From the error log it is clear that the table wp_options is crashed and it needs
   to be repaired. You can repair the table from PhpMyAdmin.
 * Steps:
 * 1: Login to PhpMyAdmin
    2: Open the database. 3: Select the table which needs
   to be repaired. 4: At the bottom of the page you can see a drop-down box, and
   select “Repair table” from the drop-down. This will repair the selected table.
 * Once it repaired you will be bale to access website without any issues.

 * Thanks again @InterServer, your solution worked perfectly!
 * Do you know what could have caused the table to be damaged like this?
 * Kind regards, J
