WordPress forum crashed – help fellas!! =)

[mastacraft]

Hey guys i installed a forum on my wordpress site at https://www.mastacraft.com – if you scroll down on the right it says:

“WordPress database error: [Table ‘wp_sfposts’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired]
SELECT DISTINCT forum_id, topic_id FROM wp_sfposts ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 8″

and the forum itself has shot itself to pieces! Any ideas how to fix this?

Cheers!

What do you mean “installed a FORUM at my wordpress site”? You can’t use the same database your WP install uses to also install a forum program.

its a plugin for the wp site…

You can’t use the same database your WP install uses to also install a forum program.

Of course you can. I assume you are using the simple press forum plugin, but regardless you can use the same database even if you were using something like phpBB, you just need to make the forum tables don’t overright the wp tables…unique table prefixes will prevent this.

For directions on repairing your database, see the following video.
