Title: wp_uwp_usermeta’ doesn’t exist Last modified: June 19, 2018 --- # wp_uwp_usermeta’ doesn’t exist * Resolved [Paulo Carvajal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pauloc/) * (@pauloc) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/) * Hi, great plugin. It seems to be working fine, but when I set WP_DEBUG to true, I get this error almost everywhere: wp_uwp_usermeta’ doesn’t exist SELECT * FROM wp_uwp_usermeta WHERE user_id = 1. * I’ve been looking through the code and it seems that this table is not been created unless you have updated the plugin from a previous version (not sure about this). * Any help is appreciated. * Regards, Paulo Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Stiofan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stiofansisland/) * (@stiofansisland) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/#post-10415595) * Hello, * That table should exist (assuming your using standard prefix) Can you try deactivating and then reactivating the plugin to see if that triggers the table creation? * Thanks, * Stiofan * [VERYA Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veryaca/) * (@veryaca) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/#post-10415616) * [@stiofansisland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stiofansisland/) * As a plugin developer, you should never **assume** that a user is using the default DB prefix. Most security measures tell users to change it nowadays. * You should adjust your code accordingly, with the `prefix` variable from the ` $wpdb` object (like so: `$wpdb->prefix`). - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [VERYA Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veryaca/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [VERYA Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veryaca/). * Thread Starter [Paulo Carvajal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pauloc/) * (@pauloc) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/#post-10415637) * I’ve tried deactivating and reactivating, I’ve also deleted the plugin from the plugins’ admin page, after tweaking the settings to delete all the plugin’s data. The table is not created on new install. * I’m using the default DB prefix also. * Weird behavior. * Plugin Author [Stiofan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stiofansisland/) * (@stiofansisland) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/#post-10415760) * [@pauloc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pauloc/) there must be something preventing it from being created, my guess would be that the sql user does not have the right permissions but that is not something i can debug here. My advice would be to check your sql user has permission to create tables or you can post on our own support forums where a member of staff can assist further: [https://userswp.io/support/forum/userswp-core-plugin/userswp-core-plugin-support/](https://userswp.io/support/forum/userswp-core-plugin/userswp-core-plugin-support/) * [@veryaca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veryaca/) i was simply referencing the debug log, you should not **assume** while trying to school people on plugin basics 🙂 * [VERYA Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veryaca/) * (@veryaca) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/#post-10415764) * [@stiofansisland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stiofansisland/) * I misread your reply, my bad 🙂 - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [VERYA Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veryaca/). * Plugin Author [Stiofan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stiofansisland/) * (@stiofansisland) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/#post-10415770) * [@veryaca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veryaca/) np 🙂 * Thread Starter [Paulo Carvajal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pauloc/) * (@pauloc) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/#post-10417218) * [@stiofansisland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stiofansisland/), it could be that if the other two tables were not created. I’ve tried on a new installation and it’s the same thing: `wp_uwp_form_extras` and `wp_uwp_form_fields` are created, but not `wp_uwp_usermeta` and I get the same errors. * My be it’s my stack, I’m on mac MAMP: PHP Version 7.2.1 and mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.38 if this helps. * Thanks for your help. * Thread Starter [Paulo Carvajal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pauloc/) * (@pauloc) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_uwp_usermeta-doesnt-exist/#post-10417298) * Hi again [@stiofansisland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stiofansisland/), it’s definitely my stack. I’ve installed the plugin in a new WP using Vagrant and PHP 7.0.3 and MySql 5.5 and it installs without problem.
