 * Hi,
 * We are installing Give plugin as a part of our one of the ready site. In this
   process, we install the required plugins, import content, etc. We encountered
   the following error while auto-installing the Give plugin.
 * Undefined index: thousands_separator
    Undefined index: decimal_separator Undefined
   index: currency Undefined index: posts_post_type
 * WordPress database error Can’t DROP ‘notes’; check that column/key exists for
   query ALTER TABLE wp_give_donors DROP COLUMN notes; made by do_action(‘admin_init’),
   WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, give_do_automatic_upgrades, give_v2511_upgrades
 * WordPress database error Table ‘responsiveaddonpro.wp_give_sequential_ordering’
   doesn’t exist for query SELECT id FROM wp_give_sequential_ordering WHERE payment_id
   = ‘296’ LIMIT 1; made by do_action_ref_array(‘give_weekly_scheduled_events’),
   WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, give_mark_abandoned_donations, give_get_payments,
   Give_Payments_Query->get_payments, Give_Payment->_construct, Give_Payment->setup_payment,
   Give_Payment->get_meta, give_get_meta, get_post_meta, get_metadata, apply_filters(‘
   get_post_metadata’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, give_bc_v20_get_payment_meta, Give_Payment-
   >_construct, Give_Payment->setup_payment, Give_Payment->setup_payment_number,
   Give_Payment->get_serial_code, Give_Sequential_Donation_Number->get_serial_code,
   Give_Sequential_Donation_Number->get_serial_number, Give_DB->get_column_by
 * can you please check and provide the solution for this.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi there,
 * How are you installing the GiveWP plugin? Anything out of the ordinary in terms
   of doing it via FTP or from the back end of the site?
 * The error message there is related to an automatic update background process 
   that should only run when GiveWP is updated, not when activating a fresh install.
 * We’d definitely like to get to the bottom of this, but will need some more context
   on how to reproduce this error.
 * Thanks!

 * Find the code below how we are installing the plugin.
    **plugin-install.js**
 *     ```
       wp.updates.queue.push(
       {
         action: 'install-plugin',
         data: { 
           slug: 'give'
         }
       });
   
       // Required to set queue.
       wp.updates.queueChecker();
       ```
   
 * and to activate the plugin we are using WordPress default function.
    **plugin-
   activate.php** `activate_plugin( 'give/give.php', '', false, true );`
