WordPress database error: [Table 'wp_terms' doesn't exist]

October 15th, 2007

After a recent upgrade of Wordpress on Debian, my blog started spewing these errors everywhere, despite having run the upgrade script. The problem is that there are 2 upgrade scripts. Why they don’t both get executed is beyond me.

To fix it, run http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php (Not, http://example.com/wordpress/upgrade.php, which you’ve already run).

Then, be a Good Samaritan, and help fix the 19,500 blogs broken by this error.

    Why is your answer #3 on google instead of #1? The first two are totally useless when your answer is spot on… thanks!
