    I had installed MailPoet a long time ago, deactivated and ran the uninstall plugin, deleted everything per the instructions on your site.

    Now I want to go back to using it so I downloaded, reinstalled and activated it.

    But when I go to settings it gives me a list of missing database tables.

    I tried the remove procedure again in case I’d missed something before… deactivate MailPoet, activate wysija-uninstall, deactivate wysija-uninstall, delete both plugins and delete the wp-content/upload.wysija folder. Tried to reinstall again and still get the same error about missing tables.

    Any ideas what I may have missed or how to go about fixing it?

  • Hi,

    Can you just install MailPoet (the latest version) then go to MailPoet > Settings > Advanced > Geeky Options and in the bottom of the page click reinstall? Do this two times and let us know if that worked.

    Darn it … nope. It cycles through this 6 instruction sequence several dozen times. (x, y and z changed to mask the actual values that look valid for posting here)

    SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM xxx_wysija_user

    I ran the re-install 3 times to be sure. I get the response

    “MailPoet has been reinstalled successfully using the same version. Settings and data have been deleted.”

    after doing the reset, but it goes right back to the errors on any of the settings pages.

    When I go into phpMyAdmin the only wysija table in the database is xxx_wysija_custom_field.

    MailPoet v 2.72 and WP v 4.5.3

    Thanks,
    Diane

    Before all the repeats of the above sequence.

    The wysija uninstall plugin didn’t delete all of the wysija tables.

    I went ahead and manually deleted the one left over (wysija_custom_field), then reactivated, then did the geeky reactivation twice and it finally came up.

    YAY!!!

    Glad to know everything is working properly now.
