Cant use sql queries in wordpress post??

If you are trying to display the code in your post, try this plugin:

If you are trying to execute the code, then put it in the relevant theme files (single.php, etc.).

Thanks iridiax, (its for displaying sql queries yes) I’ve tried using:
<pre lang=”mysql”>
show tables;

which works OK (https://blog.sharedigest.com/optimizing-mysql-1-using-indexes/)

but the following select statement still gives the ‘cant post due to access error):

<pre lang=”mysql”>
select * from t1;

Its mega frustrating, if anyone has ideas, would eb greatly appreciated !
