 * Hi… when updating Plugin Organiser to v9.2.1 I see the following PHP error logged.
   
   Thereafter, it seems to work as expected.
 * Thanks of the good work.
 * WordPress database error Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

 * The collation on your table must be making the key too large. I use utf8_general_ci
   as the default on my database.

 * Don’t really understand the implications.
    Do I need to do anything about this?
