Hey @jimmydotorg
Typically WordPress accesses your database by using a dedicated user for your MySQL database. Each user in MySQL is granted a certain amount of privileges to manage the database. One of the privileges that are needed to work with WordPress is CREATE. This allows the user to create new tables in your database.
I would suggest reaching out to your web host and ask them to help you verify that your database user dbo547522073 has all privileges. If not then you will need to grant all privileges or create a new user with all privileges.
We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
Thanks but not actually resolved. I have no confidence in the hosting companies that my clients use, nor can I change them. Simply referring me to people whose default position is “this is a WordPress issue” doesn’t help me, neither does explaining the technical reason for the message without telling ME how to fix this or if its something I can simply ignore.
“If not then you will need to grant all privileges or create a new user with all privileges.”
Explain this.
