 * Don’t know if this helps anyone, I had this issue when upgrading versions of 
   WordPress on Dreamhost, the upgrader seems to have forgotten to add the tables
   for wp_terms, wp_term_taxonomy and wp_term_relationships.
 * I had the exact same error when creating a post, and after adding the tables,
   the error went away…

 * Hi Dennis,
 * I would recommend a tool like [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/) (plugin for FireFox)
   that will help you inspect your markup on the browser-side.
 * I’m not sure how comfortable you are in php, but you could try my [debug plugin](http://aaronfay.ca/plugin-wedesign-debug/)
   to look at elements on the php side of things without breaking your live site.
 * Hope that helps,
    Aaron

 * Agreed, moshu…
    I have installed dozens of WP sites on different hosts and the
   only issues I’ve encountered are my own errors. Failing to set up the proper 
   user has been the issue a number of times. I would recommend downloading WAMP5(
   if you’re a Windows person),installing the local webserver and testing locally
   if you are getting into WP installs and modifications. This will allow you to
   make changes and test very quickly instead of the constant remote testing frustration.
   It may also lend objectivity to the scenario. Cheers, Aaron

 * If your plugin is in a folder, use
 * add_action(‘activate_folder/plugin.php’, ‘function’);
 * Note, it has to be forward slash, backslash doesn’t seem to work (escapes the
   character)
