So completely remove the plugin (remove the files and db too, when being asked for it). And then reinstall and reactivate, if the same error occurs: talk to your DB admin. * Thread Starter [bdtmurcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdtmurcia/) * (@bdtmurcia) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-create-recurring-event/#post-9764024) * hi, * there is no other way, I worked in the configuration * regards, José Carlos * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-create-recurring-event/#post-9764413) * Sorry, but if the db was not correctly created, this is the only way. * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-create-recurring-event/#post-9764421) * Or if you’re confident with mysql : deactivate, remove all tables called something like wp_eme_* and remove the entry eme_version from the wordpress options table. * Thread Starter [bdtmurcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdtmurcia/) * (@bdtmurcia) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-create-recurring-event/#post-9764523) * hi, I have reinstalled and activated it, and I can add events, I will check it, there are many configurations, it is a very complete plugin, great work. thanks.
