Hi,
I’ve got this table xxxx_ts_ratings in my WordPress database which is now corrupt.
This is preventing me from taking a backup of the DB. The only option is to DROP this table.
None of my posts use theme’s ratings feature so I have two options:
1. Either fix the corrupt table (I dont know how that could be done though)
2. Drop the table completely (to proceed with the backup asap).
My question is:
1. If I want to fix the corrupt table (or at least create a new one which has the same cols as the original _ts_ratings), can I do it? If yes, how?
2. If #1 isn’t possible, and I choose to DROP this table alone, would it affect the theme/my blog in anyway? (I’d like to repeat that no posts use the ratings feature).
Hi…. I had to do this about 4 years back and can’t remember exactly what we did finally. But we did start with the built-in repair function first, which I’m assuming you’ve already tried as found in the WordPress docs.
This page has some more detailed info (this is of many such posts out there saying pretty much the same thing; I just chose this one and have no recommendation for any particular site posting such info)…
