• I keep getting intermittent error message saying “database error unable to connect”. If I keep refreshing I can eventually connect. I tried running the database repair and got the following errors.

    wp_usermeta: 4 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_postmeta: 3 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_terms: 4 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_term_taxonomy: 4 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_term_relationships: 4 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_commentmeta: 4 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly

    I have no idea what these mean. How do I correct these?

    Forgot to mention that the error message occurs usually after I try to publish a post and I get the message on the site itself as well as my admin page.

    “Error Establishing a Database Connection” is the actual error message. Also it began happening after a WP upgrade and after switching to a new theme.

    I found out that it is because of this
