I was having a problem with all of my themes, that whenever I selected a different theme, I would get the following error message:
WordPress database error: [Data truncated for column 'autoload' at row 1]
INSERT INTO wp3_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload) VALUES ('k2installed', 'r167', 'This options simply tells me if K2 has been installed before', '')
I have several themes in my directory, but the only ones that would not produce this message are the default ones that come with WP.
I tried changing the database instance, to no effect. I deleted all of my non-default themes, re-extraced the compressed packages, also with no effect.
The strange thing is that it appears not only when I view the test site, but also in my WordPress dashboard.
I'm pretty sure I know what caused this: I went to FTP some files from my local test server to my host server, and accidentally synchronized both sites, even though at the time, the databases were totally different.
I thought upgrading from my WP 2.0.5 to 2.1.2 would repair the damage, but apparently not -- the problem persists.
Do I need to strip out WP, MySQL and everything and start from scratch?
Thanks.
