 * Hello Team,
 * I have installed PublishPress Permissions plugins.
 * Currently, I’m encountering some database issues:
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘databasename.wpm2_pp_group_members’ doesn’t
   exist] SELECT * FROM wpm2_pp_group_members INNER JOIN wpm2_pp_groups AS g ON 
   wpm2_pp_group_members.group_id = g.ID WHERE member_type = ‘member’ AND status
   = ‘active’ AND user_id IN (‘1’) ORDER BY wpm2_pp_group_members.group_id
 * **WordPress database error:** [Table ‘.databasename.wpm2_pp_group_members’ doesn’t
   exist]
   `SELECT user_id FROM wpm2_pp_group_members WHERE group_id = 1 AND user_id
   = 1`
 * **WordPress database error:** [Table ‘databasename.wpm2_pp_group_members’ doesn’t
   exist]
   `SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM ``wpm2_pp_group_members`
 * Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?
 * Thank you.

 * Hello [@priyankac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/priyankac/),
 * Please try the following troubleshooting / workaround steps:
    1. Use a website file manager to delete the folder press-permit-core folder (inside
       wp-content/plugins).
    2. Use phpMyAdmin or a similar database utility to execute the following query:
       `
       DELETE from wp_options WHERE option_name = 'presspermit_version'`_Note that 
       you will need to change “wp\_options” to your actual table name including the
       unique database prefix._
    3. Edit your wp-config.php file, adding the following code snippet just below existing
       constant definitions:
       `define( 'PRESSPERMIT_LEGACY_DB_SETUP', true );`
    4. Re-activate the plugin.
 * If you can’t execute a database query, try using your database utility to browse
   the options folder, search for the option_name presspermit_version, then delete
   the matching row in the search result.
