 * Hi there.
 * On my wordpress sidebar, underneath the “Archives” and “Links” sections, I have
   this horrible error underneath
 * “WordPress database error: [Table ‘blog.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT DISTINCT
   YEAR(post_date) AS `year`, MONTH(post_date) AS `month`, count(ID) as posts FROM
   wp_posts WHERE post_date < ‘2005-07-14 19:50:00’ AND post_status = ‘publish’ 
   GROUP BY YEAR(post_date), MONTH(post_date) ORDER BY post_date DESC”
 * Now this is wierd. because my WP database is called “wordpress” and I have a 
   separate DB called “blog”.
 * My wp-config.php seems to have the correct settings, yet the sidebar seems to
   be looking elsewhere!
 * This has only happened recently.
 * Any ideas?

 * In your sidebar template, what comes underneath Archives and Links? What section
   is making the error?

 * Hi there
 * My blog is currently located on a local server so it’s difficult to show you 
   the problem fully.

 * Pop, I’ve tried reintalling mysql, but to no avail.
 * The problem persists.
