Table ‘wp_categories’ already exists

  • The reason is most probably because your database still has the old tables.

    And now when you are trying to restore from a backup, the backup is trying to create the tables once again. And this cannot be done, since you cannot have two tables with the same name.

    So try going into your phpMyAdmin or any other Web based MySQL manager that your host provides with, and drop those tables manually.

    Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    I dropped the tables, but that still didn’t resolve the problem.
