Title: table settings doesn't exist error Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # table settings doesn't exist error * Resolved [Michilla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michilla/) * (@michilla) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/) * Using Form Manager Plugin v1.3.2. Able to successfully create the forms. However I have two problems: * 1. when I select settings i get the following error: Help Table ‘gmbaccom_wrd3. wp_fm_settings’ doesn’t exist * What is causing this problem? * 2. I do not have the ‘add form’ icon when creating a new page or post nor does it show on existing pages. What needs to happen to make the icon display? * I am using the Agahaulpa theme. * Please help… new to wordpress.

When you are editing the form you will see a section for the shortcode. For example, it probably says something like ‘form-1’. To put that form in a post or page, you would type ‘[form form-1]’ (without the quotes) wherever you want the form to show up. You can change the shortcode to make them easier to remember, if you want. * As for your first question, I will see what I can do… I’m not sure what would cause that error. I’m assuming you are using wordpress version 3.1.2? * Plugin Author [hoffcamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoffcamp/) * (@hoffcamp) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052332) * Michilla, I can’t seem to recreate the ‘table’ error. The fm_settings table is new in 1.3.2 of the plugin. If you are upgrading from an older version, try deactivating and reactivating the plugin – did you install the plugin through WordPress, or did you upload the files directly to your server? * Also if you can tell me who your host is, your MySQL version, and PHP version, I’ll be able to do some more detective work. * [jlweise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlweise/) * (@jlweise) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052391) * I ran into the same problem regarding your 1st issue (Table ‘gmbaccom_wrd3.wp_fm_settings’ doesn’t exist). * I was able to quickly resolve it by simply deactivating and then re-activating the plug-in. (1.3.2 was an Upgrade for me, not a fresh install) * Hope this helps. * Plugin Author [hoffcamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoffcamp/) * (@hoffcamp) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052409) * Thanks – the issue is fixed for 1.3.3. * Thread Starter [Michilla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michilla/) * (@michilla) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052503) * more assistance please. Again using wordpress 3.1.2 using Form Manager plugin v1.3.3. * Is it possible to make a form a link rather than have it as a form on a page? For example, click **here** to complete the form and the form opens when the user clicks on the link? * If so, how? * Plugin Author [hoffcamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoffcamp/) * (@hoffcamp) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052504) * Unfortunately I don’t think there is a simple way to do that. The plugin relies on WordPress for some of its functionality, so there isn’t really a way to display a form without it being within a WordPress page. * The only thing I can think of would be to make a separate page for your form, and then make a link to that page that opens in a new window. I am working on a version 2 for this plugin, so I’ll try to incorporate your idea, unfortunately it would be a lot of work to add in at this point. Hope that helps. * Thread Starter [Michilla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michilla/) * (@michilla) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052505) * Great! thanks for the feedback. I can wait. BTW, don’t want to be a pest, but… * i created a contact form (email, name, ph, addr, comments), i was testing the form when I submitted it, got the following error message… searched the forum, but can’t find anything * **Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to :0 (Failed to parse address “”) in /home5/gmbaccom/public_html/MissionBendHOA/wp-content/ plugins/mailpress/mp-includes/Swiftmailer/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer. php on line 233** * What does this mean? And, what do i need to do… i need to check the other forms * any help/suggestions? * Plugin Author [hoffcamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoffcamp/) * (@hoffcamp) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052506) * Happy to help. I’m a grad student in computer science, this is what I do… * That looks like an error with the e-mail notifications. Are you using version 1.3.5? Try turning off the admin notification and any others you set up just to try and isolate the problem. Also, who is your host? * Thread Starter [Michilla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michilla/) * (@michilla) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052556) * Ok, that solved the error by removing the email notifications. But, this opens a couple of questions: 1. is there a way to get notifications w/o the error? 2. I can’t seem to find where the form submissions are being stored? Where are they going? * I am using Forms 1.3.10 and my host is Bluehost. again tied to find in the forum but could not find anything * Plugin Author [hoffcamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoffcamp/) * (@hoffcamp) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-settings-doesnt-exist-error/#post-2052557) * First, let me say that the e-mail error would be easy to fix if I could update the plugin right now, but unfortunately there is some kind of problem with the updates – its supposed to be up to version 1.3.13, but only 1.3.11 has posted, and that was 24 hours ago… * Until I can post updates, try activating SMTP in your bluehost control panel, like the second poster in this thread says: * [http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=246445](http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=246445) * I’ll let you know once I can officially fix the problem.
