 * Hi, my WP site was working perfect then I suddenly get an error msg saying there
   was a problem with the database conection.
    I tried to fix and optimze the database
   but I get this msg:
 * wp_options: Table ‘wpsalvame.wp_options’ doesn’t exist
 * I need help to fix this ASAP because I was doing some apecial promotions for 
   this weekend on this site, if any one can help me I’d really appretiate it! 🙂

 * Hey Porris,
 * Do you have any backups of the site before this happened? If not, wp_options 
   stores all your site settings, theme settings, and plugin settings and will need
   to re re-built. :/
 * If you do have a backup, you can just grab the table from the backup and import
   the table into the database.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for the quick reply.
    That’s really bad I’m travelling and I don’t have
   access to the back up. I’ll guess I will have to rebuild
 * Any idea what could cause that problem?

 * I’m nor sure how this could have happened. Deleting a table can happen accidentally
   sometimes. I would check if anyone else that has access to your hosting didn’t
   accidentally delete anything.
 * Rebuilding your site may take some time, the backup would be the quickest route.
   I hope you get this solved quickly, I know how stressful this can be!

 * How it could have happened all depends on what you actually meant by:
 * > I tried to fix and optimze the database
 * Can you be more precise?

 * Hi Mark,
    I tried to open the admin page got this message and followed the instructions”
   One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.”
