• Hi there

    WP was running fine until I suddenly got the error message ‘Unknown column ‘ID’ in ‘where clause’ and now I cannot log into the site that I’m developing for a client at all!

    Can anyone please help or suggest replacing a file that has become corrupted?? I certainly can’t afford to scrap the site and start again – too many man hours have gone into it.

    Thanks in anticipation 🙁

  • Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    Those suggestions didn’t have any effect on my ability to access WP. Any other suggestions would help. I’m a little concerned that I will never be able to access successfully.

    Help?

    Thanks for your ongoing concern everyone.

    Have you tried repairing your database? Do you have a recent database backup?

    Hi

    I have just repaired my database, but I don’t have a recent backup 🙁

    Any other ideas??

    Stuart

    Contact your hosts and see if they have a backup copy of your database. If the db has been badly trashed, you may have to try a restore.

    I am resigned to the fact that I may have to rebuild the website. I asked my host if they keep a copy of the backup, and they do, but they wanted $75 for the privilege!

    Unless there are any other suggestions I ma have to rebuild??

    Thanks for all of your helpful thoughts.

    A small admin charge might be reasonable but that seems way too high to me. You might want to look at changing hosts. I would in your shoes!

    Unfortunately, without a backup, you’re pretty much stuck with trying to rebuild the site manually. 🙁
