 * Having issues with the latest MEC Lite update, 5.11.5. It works fine on my live
   site, but when I have it on my desktop staging site in debug mode, I see lots
   of errors.
 * After the upgrade, I first see:
    WordPress database error:[Specified key was 
   too long max key length is 767 bytes] ALTER TABLE ‘wp_mec_users’ ADD PRIMARY 
   KEY (‘id’), AND UNIQUE KEY ’email’ (’email’);
 * WordPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; there can only be one 
   auto column and it must be defined as a key]
    ALTER TABLE ‘wp_mec_users’ MODIFY‘
   id’ int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;
 * in the upper left hand corner of the site.
 * then lots of junk with each shortcut.
 * I’m an Elementor users, which is having it’s own problems, but I don’t think 
   this is related.
 * Looking for similar problems, there was a mention of database unicode methods,
   but I haven’t changed anything but MEC lite.

 * Solved. I had needed to modify the render.php for the lists view to remove the
   excerpt ellipsis. (I wish this was configurable in the UI.)
 * The file was under my child theme, and the 5.11.5 updated needed me to copy the
   current render.php over from the plugin to the child theme location, and have
   the ellipsis removed on the new file.

 * Based on a timestamp in a log, this might have begun with 5.11.0 on Sep 2.
 * We also use Elementor but hadn’t updated to the problematic v3 at the time of
   the errors.
 * Since I wouldn’t have any idea what to do with render.php and am unclear what
   it’s doing in your child theme (btw, we didn’t even have a child theme when this
   problem started), I’ll not go down that path to try to solve this.
 * Probably two of us posting about it will be enough to get them to fix it themselves
   in an upcoming version.
