 * Hello.
 * I’m getting the message ‘One or more database tables are unavailable. The database
   may need to be repaired.’
 * I click ‘Repair’
 * Then, it says everything is repaired.
 * HOWEVER
 * I’m still not able to log into my admin page.
 * Thoughts?
 * The blog I need help with is adorablepuppiesinc.com.

 * Hey jonhotchkiss,
 * You’ll want to double check your wp-config.php file to make sure that the DB_*
   settings reflect your database name, database user and database password are 
   correct. You’ll also want to make sure that your database table prefix in that
   file matches what’s actually in the database.
 * Without being able to look at the wp-config.php file and database it will be 
   difficult to know the exact cause of the issue but these are the most likely 
   reasons. Your hosting provider should be able to help if you need more hands 
   on assistance.

 * First, thx for responding.
 * However, we tried your suggestion… but, still not working.
