# missing database tables

 * After installing wp-security-audit-log version 1.4.1, on wordpress 4.1, I checked
   the database, and could not find the tables:
    wp_wsal_metadata wp_wsal_occurrences
   However, the table wp_sitemeta has some new entries with prefix wsal-.
 * The web pages: Audit Log Viewer, Settings, and Enable/Disable Alerts appear to
   work fine, although Audit Log Viewer page just shows “No events so far”.

 * HI p.dirac,
 * It seems like it is a privileges issue. Can you please confirm that the database
   user has the privileges to create new tables in the WordPress database?
 * At the moment it seems that it can only read / write / modify data in the database
   but not alter the database structure.

 * Yes, the database user also has privileges to create, drop, alter tables.

 * Did you try to deactivate and activate the plugin? It seems that in some cases
   the settings database is not being created on the first activation though the
   second activation solves the issue.

 * Yes, I tried to deactivate and activate the plugin, but still no tables created.
   I’m about to try installing version 1.5.0.

   the plugin.

 * Would it be possible to enable debug for a few seconds to finds out if something
   is going wrong? You can:
 * 1. Disable the plugin
    2. Enable debug 3. Enabled the plugin 4. Disable the plugin
 * Send us over the logs. You can send them to [support@wpwhitesecurity.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-database-tables-1/support@wpwhitesecurity.com?output_format=md)
