# wp_postmeta – crashed

 * My site is at [http://www.totalcarepropertymanagement.com.au](http://www.totalcarepropertymanagement.com.au)
   and for no reason that I can see the navigation menus went haywire.
 * I am running WordPress 4.1 with Genesis Theme AgentPress
 * On investigating further I logged into my host and ran a database repair which
   delivered the following report:

 * The problem seems to be that the wp_postmeta table has been corrupted and a tempfile
   cannot be created.
 * Going to phpMyAdmin I discovered that this table has the entry ‘in use’.
 * On contacting my host, they only got as far as I did before telling me it was
   a WordPress issue, and not a Database issue.??
 * Is there anyway this table can be repopulated? The data seems to be there in 
   the wp_posts table, but the pictures are not displaying nor any of the shortcode
   data.
 * The navigation menus too, are all gone and any attempt to re-enter data is all
   to no avail.
 * I don’t have a recent backup of this database though I’m hoping the host may 
   have. ):
 * Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Or point me in the direction of 
   someone who could help.

 * I’d try changing themes to the default, test, and re-install the Genesis theme.
 * Here’s an error that the site is throwing.
