    After Running wp_repair
    Received the following:

    wp_posts: 7 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_options: Table is marked as crashed
    wp_postmeta: 8 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_terms: 1 client is using or hasn’t closed the table properly
    wp_term_taxonomy: 6 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
    wp_term_relationships: 6 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly

    I’m the only one who posts to the site, so I’m unsure who or what what the clients are

    Suggested I post here for help — HELP please
    TIA

    are you on shared hosting or a vps?

    If the latter, stop the httpd / apache process while testing/repairing the database tables.

    It’s shared, after looking at some other posts, I saw one about running the repair function on the wp_options table from phpmyadmin, I ran it and it fixed things. Things are back to normal

    Thanks for the info, because I do have several other sites on a vps.
