[resolved] Links and posts disappeared when in sidebars (3 posts)

    I'm getting an error "WordPress database error: [Table 'jcherfas.wp_posts' doesn't exist]" in my sidebar. But the posts certainly show up in the main content.

    I checked with phpMyAdmin and indeed there are no tables by that name. They are called jcherfas_weblog_wp_links. Oh, and under Manage Links, they show up fine.

    I cannot think why the prefix should have changed. I added slimstat last night, but that did not involve touching the WordPress files except for the header in my theme.

    Any suggestions?

    Remove plugins until the error goes away.
    Start with the most recently added.

    I removed all four of the plugins I have, one at a time, and that did not make any difference. I still have the "doesn't exist" error.

    I then removed the change I made to header.php to use slimstat. This consisted of adding this line:

    <?php @include_once( $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/slimstat/inc.stats.php" ); ?>

    immediately after the <body> tag and before the first <div> tag.

    I checked my WP config.php, and that seems to have the correct value for DB_NAME

    None of that made any difference.

    Then I deleted the entire slimstat folder. And lo, the error vanished. I put it back, and the errors returned.

    So I guess what I've shown is that slimstat is the problem, and I will have to take it up with the author. which is a real drag, because it was working so well!

    Thanks for listening.
