Working, but Database error

    Hi there,

    i have already voted your plugin at 5 stars, but I hope i’ll not regret it. The plugin is working, but when I have taken a look at my PHP errors logs, here is what is written :

    WordPress Table Error 'MYDATABASE.wp_options' doesn't exist pour la requête SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = '_site_transient_update_plugins' AND option_value LIKE '%three-column-screen-layout%' faite par activate_plugin, do_action('activate_three-column-screen-layout/three-column-screen-layout.php'), Three_Column_Screen_Layout->activate

    I’m not a database expert, but is this because I have another database prefix than the standard wp_?

    Moreover, you have to know that I have renamed my wp-content folder just after the wordpress installation (if it can help).

    Any explanation on this issue would be more than appreciated.

    Regards.

    Updated – try it now.
    Coding 101: do not hard-code table names into your queries!

    This error would only have occurred during activation (or deactivation) and would not have adversely affected your installation.

    On activation it was trying to update older versions of the plugin settings, and on deactivation it was trying to restore metaboxes to their original columns.

    Upon failure of these queries, you’d just have change the screen-options yourself and reload the page for the layout to be restored, no great drama.

    Additionally, renaming your wp-content folder should have no effect on this plugin.
