Dave,
What happens if you disable GDE from your plugin list and enable it again? Do you still get the same error?
Kevin
HI Kevin,
Yes – does the sane. Deleted the plugin, reinstalled and when pressing admin error comes up.
I am moving to a Microsoft Azure hosted website. This only allows one install, of MySQL hence using a different DB table prefix – could this be causing the problem?
Dave
If it helps, this was done by editing
$table_prefix = ‘xxx_’;
in wp-config.php
Dave
I’m not sure what is causing this error in your case. I’ve seen it pop up somewhat randomly in the past but never in such a way that a simple reactivation didn’t resolve the problem. It isn’t related to your table prefix, or at least I really doubt that it is, since I’m also using a custom prefix.
There may be some other issues related to Azure as I’ve never used GDE in that environment. You could create the tables yourself, perhaps (you can find the table schema in gde_db_tables in libs/lib-setup.php) and then attempt a reactivation, but I admit you should not need to do this. I’ve not run into nor heard of this issue before, so I’m puzzled by it as well.
The only other thing I can think of is to look for an option gde_db_version in your (xxx)_options table, and if it exists, delete it and try to reactivate. It shouldn’t exist at all if the table creation failed, though.
