 * Hi Ian!
 * We had championships already underway then updated to the latest version of the
   plugin.
 * Now the current championships do not work due to the extra columns in the database
   mismatching. Gives DB errors.
 * Please help! 🙁

 * Deactivate a reactivate the plugin and it will sort out your problem.

 * Thanks for the quick response Ian – Will deactivating the plugin cause any possible
   loss of information on the current championships or will it just pick the database
   back up again?
 * Thanks

 * It won’t cause any problems.
 * See [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-columnstables?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-columnstables?replies=3)
 * By reactivating it detects the database schema is old, and adds some new columns
   for the new features (Rain, Safety Car etc).
 * WordPress used to automatically deactivate/reactivate on an upgrade, but they
   changed the behaviour.
 * Next version will handle upgrades better.
