I thought that the first two were from older versions of wp and not used in the 2.8 db. I went ahead and removed them from the db to see if it would help and I repaired all the tables.

The site still crashes but it seems to take less time to recover now. I backed up the tables before I dropped them. Should I put them back or leave them out. I went back and check the site’s content and could not find anything missing or not working after dropping the tables.

As I was going through the database I’ve noticed some tables that don’t appear on the list of wordpress db tables. Some are plugins that I know of but some are not. I’m running mysql vedrsion 4.1.14 and WP v. 2.8.3

wp_linkcategories
wp_post2cat
wp_subscribe2

Should these be in the db?

I’ve done repairs to a few of the tables before but not all of them. I’ll backup and try that.

I had tried deactivating the plugins before and it made no difference. I just tried again and the same result.

The first time I installed WP it was around v.2.1 or so. That stated to mess up after awhile and I upgraded to V.2.6 I’m not sure if that messed the database up or not.

looks like it worked. thank you

You Sir are a genius!

I check the db and it does look like wp_options is crashing. I running a backup right now. Is there a better way to fix it other than running a repair?

I just looked in the database files and the wp_posts file appears empty.

Has anyone ever had this happen. I have a backup from last wed., but I would rather not go back that far if I don’t have to.

I am in the same boat you were in. I tried all the same steps that you did and my links still did not work.

What exactly did you enter into the permalink redirect plugin?

That worked! Thanks. admin pages are still slow, but at least I don’t have to wait for autosave anymore.

Thanks I will give it a try.

Is there a specific place in the file to insert that code?

I’m in the exact same boat as you. My work around for the cats. was to create a new one using the same name as one I had before. Make it the default cat. Then delete the old cat. which moved those posts to the new default cat. Repeat for each cat.

I started to have a bunch of problems this week with my old WordPress so I decided to upgrade yesterday. I lost the cat., the connection to the database comes in and out. I used the 3 step instructions.

I read a few other posts in which people were complaining about some of the same issues that I was having, and they got fixed with a upgrade to the 2.6.1 version. I am doing that right now to see if things get better.

I don’t know what causes it but I have the same thing (only not nearly as far as yours) in my blog. https://www.gamerinvestments.com

I have also seen it in other wordpress blogs. None of them are as far as yours.

Same thing just happned to me.

I am in the process of makeing a new cat. using one of my old cat. names. Making that one the default. Then deleting the apporiate old cat. that no longer has a name. All the posts then transfer to the default cat.

Glad I only had 30 cats. and not 101!!!
