Some. During install or probably upgrade to 2.9 the new table wp_commentmeta was not created.

thanks henkholland. Do I apply this to the admin.php file or somewhere else? Didn’t really understand from that post (seemed to mostly be about another issue). Thank you so much though.
I was referring to this:
for those interested, the SQL code you need to run to create the new wp_commentmeta table is:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS wp_commentmeta (
meta_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
comment_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
meta_key varchar(255) collate utf8_unicode_ci default NULL,
meta_value longtext collate utf8_unicode_ci,
PRIMARY KEY (meta_id),
KEY comment_id (comment_id),
KEY meta_key (meta_key)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
but that’s SQL and if you are not familiar with that, leave it.
Than click the upgade button in your admin panel and when it says “no need” I believe you get also te choice to re-install (the same version). Try that.
From where were you trying to repair tables?
