atentia,
Which files/folders did you have to change the rights on? It could be that that is all I need to do, though the permissions looked OK. Thanks for this lead!
I have read and re-read, tried and tried again the instructions in the wpdb codex page. I could just be missing something. Any chance you could give example code of how it should work to do what I specified? I know it should work, but I can’t seem to get it to. Also, is something extra required when creating the table with $wpdb? I think the problem may be with creating it. Thank you for any help you may be able to give!
I am also interested in an answer to this question. It seems like there should be a plugin for this, though I haven’t been able to find one. Thank you to anyone who may know the answer.
