Title: database error: table taxonomymeta doesn't exist Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # database error: table taxonomymeta doesn't exist * Resolved [Ruud Laan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruudjoyo/) * (@ruudjoyo) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/) * Hi Ryan, * We had a php error today, and after some searching I think it may have something to do with your plugin. This is the error we are getting: * [16-Feb-2016 01:36:45 UTC] WordPress databasefout Table ‘mocca_ceia.wp_ceia_taxonomymeta’ doesn’t exist bij query SELECT taxonomy_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_ceia_taxonomymeta WHERE taxonomy_id IN (1) ORDER BY meta_id ASC gemaakt door require(‘wp-blog-header. php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), include(‘/themes/twentythirteen/ category.php’), get_header, locate_template, load_template, require_once(‘/themes/ twentythirteen/header.php’), wp_head, do_action(‘wp_head’), call_user_func_array, twentythirteen_header_style, get_header_image, get_theme_mod, apply_filters(‘ theme_mod_header_image’), call_user_func_array, Unique_Header_Taxonomy_Header_Images- >header_image_filter, get_metadata, update_meta_cache * I checked, the plugin is active and there is indeed no taxonomymeta table. Perhaps this table was deleted with the move to 4.4? * Thanks, Ruud * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/unique-headers/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/unique-headers/) Viewing 6 replies - 16 through 21 (of 21 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/?output_format=md) 2 * Plugin Author [Ryan Hellyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanhellyer/) * (@ryanhellyer) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/page/2/#post-7069697) * Egads. I’m an idiot. The implemented something in the latest update the wrong way around. I will have this fixed in about 10 minutes time for you. * Plugin Author [Ryan Hellyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanhellyer/) * (@ryanhellyer) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/page/2/#post-7069698) * I’ve uploaded version 1.5.3. It should appear in the repository in a couple of minutes. * lakenjr, could you test that for me to confirm it fixes the bug you are experiencing? * I need to squash this bug once and for all and apparently my own attempts to bug check it are failing :/ * Plugin Author [Ryan Hellyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanhellyer/) * (@ryanhellyer) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/page/2/#post-7069699) * The new version has appeared in the plugin repository now. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/unique-headers/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/unique-headers/) * Plugin Author [Ryan Hellyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanhellyer/) * (@ryanhellyer) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/page/2/#post-7069700) * I think I didn’t see the problem during my own testing, due to not creating a new category. * It’s very late here and I don’t have time to thoroughly test this right now. But since I could see what was triggering it, I checked that it still worked on my test site, and pushed the change live. * I believe this latest change should fix your issue, but I thought the same with the change I had to push through in a hury the other day too, but it turns out I was wrong. Please let me know as soon as possible if this doesn’t fix your issue. * [lakenjr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lakenjr/) * (@lakenjr) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/page/2/#post-7069701) * Hello Ryan – thanks for the prompt attention. * **I installed and tested version 1.5.3 and all is OK** * To carry out the test, I dropped the taxonomymeta table and then created and edited a new category – with success. * Thank you very much. * Plugin Author [Ryan Hellyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanhellyer/) * (@ryanhellyer) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-table-taxonomymeta-doesnt-exist/page/2/#post-7069703) * Whew! It seems I didn’t handle this bug fix very well. I’ll try to keep things sailing smoother next time.
