Title: Events-Manager Database Error Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Events-Manager Database Error * [drelan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drelan/) * (@drelan) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/) * I’m having a the same problem despite installing different versions of Events Manager,and I can’t quite figure out how to solve it. I’ve tried installing other similar plug-ins like Events Manager Extended, but have had problems with the widgets. EM seems to be working well, except I’m having problems saving locations, which making saving new events impossible. I need to solve this soon! So if anyone has any ideas I’d be very thankful. * The message i’m getting is: * > WordPress database error: [Table ‘…/em_bookings’ doesn’t exist] * and * > WordPress database error: [Table ‘…/em_events’ doesn’t exist] * I’ve now upgraded to EM 4.04, also, I’m posting here since their forums are currently down. * Any solutions?! * Thanks!

I had to manually delete the EM(E) plug-ins and manually clear the database tables. Unfortunately, now I cannot create locations and get “Could not save the location details due to a database error.” * Hopefully someone can help… * Thread Starter [drelan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drelan/) * (@drelan) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/#post-2081046) * how did you clear the tables? and do you know if there’s anyway to create an event in that case without a location? * [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * (@netweblogic) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/#post-2081065) * you’re going to have issues if you’ve installed/uninstalled all these plugins. too many possibilities. * I suggest you first delete all tables in the form of wp_em_… (note that wp_ might be a little different on your db). * Then you need to delete all wp_options with ‘dbem_’ so you could use this: * `DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%dbem_%';` * After that just install the latest v from scratch and you should be fine. * [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * (@netweblogic) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/#post-2081066) * [@drelan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drelan/), currently you need a location. people that want this behaviour usually just assign a default blank location (you can set default locations in the Events > Settings) and ommit all location placeholders and widgets from the front-end. * Thread Starter [drelan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drelan/) * (@drelan) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/#post-2081071) * Thanks Marcus, ideally the location would be needed for the bookings, I only figured if it might be a way around the problem. Thank you for the help, though I’m not sure I understand it. I’ve installed DBManager, but i’m still unsure of how I might find and delete the em tables, and this command * `DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%dbem_%';` * do i run it as an SLQ query. * Very sorry, am not so familiar with SLQ or php for that matter, will continue googling, thanks for the help! * [grindflow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grindflow/) * (@grindflow) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/#post-2081106) * Marcus, Thanks. * The SQL line was the life saver, everything is working great now. Thanks for supporting your plugin. The buddypress integration is killer… perfect compliments. * Other feedback: when bookings are disabled, subscribers still get the bookings menu… couldn’t find another setting other than unchecking user capabilities, which didn’t remove “my event bookings” either * categories creation dead-ends after you “update category”. I have to click categories, Add New, then create another category. The EMExtended interfacing was a bit smoother here. * Thanks again… will be using this plugin on another site next week. * Thread Starter [drelan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drelan/) * (@drelan) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/#post-2081114) * still having database problems here which are preventing a location save. hmphf, any other ideas? * [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * (@netweblogic) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/#post-2081133) * you need to remove all traces of EM, since I don’t know how EME conflicts with it these days, remove EME and then install EM. * what I gave you was SQL you need to feed your mysql database e.g. with phpmyadmin Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Events-Manager Database Error’ is closed to new replies. * 8 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * Last activity: [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-manager-database-error/#post-2081133) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
