 * Hello,
 * Recently I have had a problem come up with my permalinks, wordpress is only letting
   me set the default method for the permalink,
 * When I try to select the option for date and name based or custom it won’t let
   me
 * and it shows this on the permalink options page
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘option_description’ in ‘field list’]
   
   INSERT INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload)
   VALUES (‘page_uris’, ‘a:9:{s:11:\”muslim-blog\”;i:164;s:17:\”mission-statement\”;
   i:119;s:10:\”contact-me\”;i:117;s:12:\”your-account\”;i:746;s:19:\”transaction-
   results\”;i:745;s:8:\”checkout\”;i:744;s:13:\”products-page\”;i:427;s:8:\”sf-
   forum\”;i:81;s:0:\”\”;i:754;}’, ”, ‘yes’)
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘option_description’ in ‘field list’]
 * I was wondering if anyone can guide me through this problem. Thank You.
