 * Hi,
 * Earlier today I was deactivating plugins and I got a lot of “resource limit is
   reached” errors.Then I was trying to restore a database backup I had taken few
   days back and I get this error that “Error establishing a database connection”.
   When I try to repair the database I get the error ‘Failed to repair the wp_posts
   table. Error: Table ‘*_wrdp2.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist”
    I really don’t understand
   how this is possible and I looked in phpmyadmin in control panel and wp_posts
   is not there. What can be done? I have backups but it not working.

 * Why won’t one of your backups work?

 * I don’t know why backup is not working.Last time backup was also working.And 
   now also when I restore the mysql database from control panel it shows it was
   restored but I keep getting those errors..I did upgrade few plugins few days 
   back and backup was taken before that.Hope that is no issue.

 * Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder
   inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using
   [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application
   your host provides.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
