Thanks, I managed to restore things, but fyi, I had to consult one other table.
ig_contacts only seemed to contain info on whether a contact was unsubscribed or not, but I couldn’t figure out how to deduce whether a contact had been verified. However, I found this info in another table, es_maillist.
p.s. to @scarlette13: you need to be able to access the underlying WordPress database.
p.p.s. to @malayladu: given that the “fixed” version of the plugin doesn’t restore people’s data, don’t you think you should provide a tool, or perhaps the capability in your next update, to automatically (or at the user’s request) detect and fix the problem? It seems unreasonable to require that a user be able to access the database.
