 * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/randomizing/)
 * I can’t make the plugin Randomize work.
    Have this error:
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘woldadb.wp_Randomize’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT
   posted FROM wp_Randomize ORDER BY posted ASC
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘woldadb.wp_Randomize’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT
   posted FROM wp_Randomize ORDER BY posted DESC
 * Further, I get this error text when trying to create a new category:
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘woldadb.wp_Randomize’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT
   id FROM wp_Randomize No Randomize entries found… – enter some data using the 
   form below…
 * And when I fill in an entrie:
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
   that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near”
   images” at line 1]
    INSERT INTO wp_Randomize (category_id, posted, random_string)
   values (‘images’, now()), ‘images’
 * Doh! Wasn’t inserted…
 * Also, 5 categories are supposed to show when having installed the plugin, but
   none show.
 * Help would be appreciated.
    Cheers, JW75

 * Maybe use [phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/phpMyAdmin) and see if you 
   database does in fact have the `wp_Randomize` table.
 * Consider checking and confirming all the instructions here:
