Not when I first started to work on it, nor during the process of designing it. * I did run into several episodes where I the MySQL app did not immediately start from within the XAMPP control panel. That still happens on occasion, but I found a reliable solution for whenever that happens: * [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78796430/how-to-completely-restore-a-wordpress-site-from-a-manual-backup](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78796430/how-to-completely-restore-a-wordpress-site-from-a-manual-backup) * So, as far as I can see, I’ve managed to keep MySQL and XAMPP running as far as . * But, concerning the wp-options table: I’ve made copies of the entire site, on several different dates and I still have all those copies. I tried replacing the most recent files containing the wp-options table with versions from those older copies I made. The site was working well when I made those copies. But now the site still treats even the older versions as if they’re corrupted or missing. * Why are even the older copies not working? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Database Errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-errors-84/) * Thread Starter [themavo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themavo/) * (@themavo) * [1 year, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-errors-84/page/2/#post-18377786) * Hi again, [@iamshubhamsp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamshubhamsp/) . I’m just following-up. * I enabled the WordPress repair of wp-config.php, following your earlier directions. * After the process of attempting the repair was done, WordPress displayed a log that listed a number of tables as being “okay.” For example: * The wp_users table is okay. The wp_usermeta table is okay.The wp_posts table is okay.etc. * But the wp_options table was listed as being “not okay.” WordPress couldn’t repair it, stating that it “doesn’t exist in engine” (as I noted earlier in this thread). * But then I used Windows File Explorer to locate all of the files related to the tables WordPress accessed for this repair process. * The files for each table listed as okay were there…But so were the files for wp_options, which WordPress claims “doesn’t exist.” They all seem to be there in their correct locations. (It appears each table has two files: name.frm and name.ibd.) * Then, I tried to access the tables using phpMyAdmin. * There, under the affected database, all the tables WordPress checked are listed, including wp_options. But, unlike the other tables, the status of wp_options reads “in use.” It’s the only table which has that status. * When I click on wp_options from within phpMyAdmin, I receive an error message that reads “#1932 – Table ‘themavo.wp_options’ doesn’t exist in engine.” * But, according to File Explorer, it actually does exist along with all the other tables. I’m not sure what could be causing it to be regarded as “nonexistent” in phpMyAdmin and WordPress. Maybe that table’s files are somehow corrupt… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Database Errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-errors-84/) * Thread Starter [themavo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themavo/) * (@themavo) * [1 year, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-errors-84/page/2/#post-18374146) * Well, [@catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/), as it stands, I’ve rather soured on MySQL because it’s so unreliable. So often the overall MySQL app doesn’t even start at all in XAMPP. Whenever that happens, I have to replace most of the files in the mysql > data folder with versions in the mysql > backup. * Now there’s suddenly no connection at all to the WP database. What do I need to do now to have this site back on track again? There must be something… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Database Errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-errors-84/) * Thread Starter [themavo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themavo/) * (@themavo) * [1 year, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-errors-84/page/2/#post-18372407) * Thanks for your tip, [@iamshubhamsp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamshubhamsp/) * Before I saw your latest post, I tried replacing the entire **XAMPP > MySQL > data** folder with a backup that I had. I still received the Error establishing a database connection message. Then, I tried replacing the same data folder with a version from an even older backup. Same error occurs. Again, I had been working on my site for a long time before and the connection to the database was not an issue. If a backup is not restoring the connection and the site, what is causing this issue all of a sudden? * I never really moved/migrated the site anywhere. So far it’s only been on my localhost hard drive connected to my workstation. * In any case, I’ll try the other steps you outlined in your message. - This reply was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by [themavo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themavo/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Database Errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-errors-84/) * Thread Starter [themavo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themavo/) * (@themavo) * [1 year, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-errors-84/page/2/#post-18372398) * [@catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * Is this issue with the database most likely being caused by XAMPP or could it be something else? I’m so close to having the site be completed (at least this first version of the site) that I don’t know if if I really want to start changing server software at this point.

XAMPP software is installed so I can use that drive as a server. I connect to the site via localhost. After my initial work on the site is complete, I will move it to an actual webhost. * To create backups, I’ve just been copying all the files on that drive to a location on a separate drive. I actually have a few copies from different dates. * Given all that, what’s the best way to restore the database?

To see the video, please visit… [https://vimeo.com/themavo/navlogo?share=copy](https://vimeo.com/themavo/navlogo?share=copy) * You’ll see that, when I customize the theme near the start of the video (via Appearance > Themes > Customize), The Mavo logo, which is the correct logo I need to use, displays in the header. * But then, when I visit a page that includes the Rife theme (Pages > All Pages > The Mavo Home), that page is missing The Mavo logo and displays the Star logo instead. When I go back to customize the page, The Mavo logo is still there. But, when previewing the page, it’s the Star logo that is there. * Also, I notice that, while attempting to edit the page using Elementor, the entire navigation menu (including the logo) vanishes whenever I move the cursor over it or try to select its container or nearby containers. * The correct logo is already in my customizer options (Appearance > Customize > Header Settings > Logo). No trace of the Star logo exists there. The theme header is enabled (under Appearance > Customize > General Settings > Theme Header). The Star logo is merely in the overall list of Media for the site, but not actually applied anywhere on the site, as far as I can see… - This reply was modified 2 years ago by [themavo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themavo/). * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Rife Free] Logo Does Not Display in Main Navigation Panel.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logo-does-not-display-in-main-navigation-panel/) * Thread Starter [themavo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themavo/) * (@themavo) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logo-does-not-display-in-main-navigation-panel/#post-17872198) * I’ve been building the site locally on my computer [@apollo13themes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apollo13themes/).
