Have you recently installed a plugin?
Nothing recent. I’ll deactivate them all and start turning them on, one by one.
Nothing’s changed in my plugins, and disabling and re-enabling didn’t seem to help. I’ve added a timestamp column to wp_options to see what’s changing.
When you say you added a column to wp_options, what do you mean?
Based on your error message, it looks like wordpress is trying to write something to your options table in your database, but the database has been set up to only accept things of a certain length (number of characters).
Did this start happening suddenly, or has it done this since you installed it? It’s very strange, do you know which part of the database specifically is being affected, can you check your server’s error logs at all?
I moved the tables to innodb, then back to MyISAM, so that may have broken something. I’m enabling query logging and will post a reply here when I have something that looks interesting.
There are some really nasty UPDATE statements in the log. I put them at http://sstern.ccim.com/update-query.zip.
This is still an issue. I’ve posted a picture of what I see at http://sstern.ccim.com/wp-admin-bug.png. It seems that the feed used to build the dashboard is the problem.
I found a workaround for this problem. Have a look at http://symbolengine.com/?p=6
Thanks! It’s a shame to cut off the feed, but…
Why isn’t everyone reporting this problem?
