Title: database tables missing in multisite Last modified: October 6, 2025 --- # database tables missing in multisite * Resolved [stuurluidevelopment](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stuurluidevelopment/) * (@stuurluidevelopment) * [6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-tables-missing-in-multisite/) * Hi guys, we have some issues with the Simple History plugin on an multisite DEV environment. * When we install the plugin and enable it on a network level, the DB tables are created for the main site (site id =1), but not for subsites site id >1). * Activating the plugin on a subsite level does not fix the issues. Error that is displayed on /subsite2/wp-admin/admin.php?page=simple_history_admin_menu_page: * Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Fout bij uitvoeren query: Table ‘database.wp_2_simple_history’ doesn’t exist in /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ simple-history/inc/class-log-query.php:405 Stack trace: #0 /data/www/web-test. domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-history/inc/class-log-query. php(76): Simple_History\Log_Query->query_overview_mysql() #1 /data/www/web-test. domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-history/inc/class-log-query. php(47): Simple_History\Log_Query->query_overview() #2 /data/www/web-test.domain. com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-history/inc/class-events-stats.php( 1776): Simple_History\Log_Query->query() #3 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/ wp-content/plugins/simple-history/dropins/class-sidebar-stats-dropin.php(326): Simple_History\Events_Stats::get_num_events_today() #4 /data/www/web-test.domain. com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-history/dropins/class-sidebar-stats- dropin.php(345): Simple_History\Dropins\Sidebar_Stats_Dropin->get_quick_stats_data()# 5 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): Simple_History\Dropins\Sidebar_Stats_Dropin->on_sidebar_html() #6 /data/www/web- test.domain.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters()# 7 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook- >do_action() #8 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ simple-history/dropins/class-sidebar-dropin.php(129): do_action() #9 /data/www/ web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): Simple_History\ Dropins\Sidebar_Dropin->output_sidebar_html() #10 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/ public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters() #11 / data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook- >do_action() #12 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ simple-history/inc/services/class-admin-pages.php(109): do_action() #13 [internal function]: Simple_History\Services\Admin_Pages->history_page_output() #14 /data/ www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-history/inc/class- menu-page.php(401): call_user_func() #15 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/ wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): Simple_History\Menu_Page->render() #16 /data/ www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook- >apply_filters() #17 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/wp-includes/plugin. php(517): WP_Hook->do_action() #18 /data/www/web-test.domain.com/public_html/ wp-admin/admin.php(259): do_action() #19 {main} thrown in /data/www/web-test. domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-history/inc/class-log-query. php on line 405 Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [Pär Thernström](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eskapism/) * (@eskapism) * [5 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-tables-missing-in-multisite/#post-18697851) * Thank you for the report! * We can confirm this is an issue. This also happens when installing the plugin as a must-use plugin. It’s probably the register hook that is not fired for all subsites. * [bobheinen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobheinen/) * (@bobheinen) * [4 months, 4 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-tables-missing-in-multisite/#post-18715195) * Nice to see this is a known issue. Is there an ETA for a fix, or a hotfix, or a roadmap where this issue is a part of. * Plugin Author [Pär Thernström](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eskapism/) * (@eskapism) * [4 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-tables-missing-in-multisite/#post-18739106) * Yes, I plan to fix it in the next version, if no unplanned problems occur. I have create an [issue for it](https://github.com/bonny/WordPress-Simple-History/issues/606) that you can follow if you want. * Plugin Author [Pär Thernström](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eskapism/) * (@eskapism) * [3 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-tables-missing-in-multisite/#post-18758076) * I have worked on a [Database Auto Recovery feature](https://simple-history.com/2025/simple-history-5-21-0-released/#database-auto-recovery) and it is enabled now in the just released version 5.21.0. It should detect that tables are missing when viewing the log or when trying to create a log entry, and if it is missing then it recreated the tables. Let me know if this works for you! * This feature can help in several situations when tables are missing. Another scenario is when a site is duplicated using a duplicate/clone plugin and then duplicates the options table but not the custom log tables = confusing the plugin.
