Error establishing a database connection – Page down and login not possible

Hello WordPress Masters!
I am fighting with my wordpress page and need help to understand what is going on.

What is happening
Going to my page, I get the message “Error establishing a database connection”. Similarly, going to http://letsimage.com/wp-admin/ results in the error “One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.”. This is reproducable on any device/operating System.

What have I tried
1. Added the ‘define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);’ to the wp-config file and run the repair. The error I am getting is: wp_tcwf50b650_options: Table ‘a1f83397930742.wp_tcwf50b650_options’ doesn’t exist.

2. Renamed my plugin and themes folders temporarily to see if these are corrupting the page. Errors remained the same, no change.

3. Called my hosting provider (GoDaddy) – they said this is likely a content related issue and they can not help me (unless I pay 40 bucks more a month lol) as the issue is not with the server.

4. Restored my Database from a month ago from a backup, in which case the page could not be reached at all for reasons I do not understand.

I suspect the issue likely is the error wp_tcwf50b650_options: Table ‘a1f83397930742.wp_tcwf50b650_options’ doesn’t exist. when running the repair. However, I have no idea how to solve the issue. Has anyone had the issue before and has any further ideas?

Thank you all! My apologies if the answer has been written previosuly and I missed it.

Thank you for the super fast reply!
The table in question ‘a1f83397930742.wp_tcwf50b650_options’ is not listed within the database I am afraid. Considering this the error message makes sense, but where would the table have gone 😀 I didnt touch or remove it for sure.

Any ideas as to how to fix it with the table seemingly gone?

Thank you again!

Do you have a backup of Database taken before this issue? If so, try restoring it.

If not, ask your hosting provider if they have backup of your site from time before this issue. If they do have it, ask them to restore it.

I will see if I can get the file restored.

Assuming that this is not an option because the file is not even present in the backups of the last 30 days, what is the content of this particular wp_tcwf50b650_options file? Is it a generic file or one that needs to be created based on my configurations – hence I can not simply ‘create an empty file and past things in’.

Thanks again!

Thank you!
So to sum up – if I can not restore the file and there is no template to restore the default, so to speak, this problem is not fixable?
I am at a loss why the file would disappear like this after running smoothly for years. A shame if I’d lose my page like this – I really appreciate all the help you have given me though!!
