 * Hey, the plugin throws an error for me:
 * > WordPress database error: [Table ‘myDB.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist]
   >  SELECT object_id,
   > t.*, tt.* FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_id
   > = t.term_id INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id =
   > tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘category’) AND tr.object_id IN (
   > 0)
 * I do have table prefix, so my terms table is `nx_terms` instead of `wp_terms`.
   
   If I modify the `/easyindex/lib/EasyIndex.php` on line 1043-1044 to:
 *     ```
       $q = "SELECT object_id, t.*, tt.* FROM MYDBPREFIX_terms AS t INNER JOIN MYDBPREFIX_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_id = t.term_id ";
       $q .= "INNER JOIN MYDBPREFIX_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id ";
       ```
   
 * And I do the same modification in `EasyIndexIndex.php` line 1067-1068, then the
   error disappears.
    Cheers!

 * I am getting the same error and my site has slowed to a crawl. My ISP sent this
   message to me:
 * That error is saying that the database table wp_terms doesn’t exist. The problem
   with that is the database doesn’t use that table, it uses wp_7hxc6uni19_terms.
   There seems to be a plugin that is poorly coded and it is assuming the database
   prefix.
 * I’m not sure what to do next. This is a serious problem for my site because I
   use EasyIndex in many places.
