mysqli_query(): (HY000/1194):

Login to your hosting control panel and find the phpmyadmin application. Click on your database and select the wp_options table. Choose the repair option.

I have the same message on a localhost site and it will not let me login to phpmyadmin. it does not recognize the password as yes option and it will not take no either. What do I do?

@chuckm97, please start a new forum post for your issue rather than jumping into an existing, old thread. Thanks.
