Unknown column 'randomize_answers' in 'field list'

    After updating to Watu version 2.4.5, got a quiz with the [WATU 0] code.

    Checked previous threads; followed advice to deactivate and activate plugin.

    Upon reactivation of plugin, got this error message on the WordPress dashboard: The plugin generated 321 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

    Cannot create a new quiz because of the [WATU 0] code; cannot access this quiz to fix via the ‘manage exams’ dash because it’s not listed there.

    This is the screen/message that comes up before the page to create the first question:

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘randomize_answers’ in ‘field list’]

    INSERT INTO wp_watu_master (name, description, final_screen, added _on, randomize, single_page, show_answers, require_log-in, notify_admin, randomize_answers) VALUES (‘T.C. Summary Opinion 2014-74 (Miller)’, ‘ ‘, ‘Congratulations – you have completed %%QUIZ-NAME. \r\n\r\nYou scored %%POINTS%% points out of %%MAX-POINTS%% points total.’, NOW(), 0, 1, 1, 0, 0,0)

    What is my next step?

    Sorry, I just saw you tried that already. Unfortunately I can’t reproduce your errors – I can activate the plugin without any output. Maybe you’ll have to add the field manually in the database through phpMyAdmin or SQL Executioner.

    Well, that was certainly a terrifying first for this non-techie.

    However, apparently did successfully add the field to the database without breaking anything (or at least anything currently in evidence). WHEW!

    Was then able to create a new quiz. Same as the old quiz but with a proper code. ??

    Thank you for your prompt reply.

    And thank you for this wonderful plug in. Have been using it for a year with no problems.
