Hi Xie : thank you for your rapid response. My 4.3 -> 4.4 update at Godaddy/Plesk failed (not sure why - some access rights issues on Plesk maybe). I now get WordPress database error Table ‘wesmith104_foun.L5fjV3F9_termmeta’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT term_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM L5fjV3F9_termmeta WHERE term_id IN (1) ORDER BY meta_id ASC made by require(‘G:\PleskVhosts\wesmith104.com\httpdocs\cattlepointfoundation\wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘G:\PleskVhosts\wesmith104.com\httpdocs\cattlepointfoundation\wp-includes\template-loader.php’), include(‘G:\PleskVhosts\wesmith104.com\httpdocs\cattlepointfoundation\wp-content\themes\themes\twentyfourteen\page.php’), get_sidebar, locate_template, load_template, require_once(‘G:\PleskVhosts\wesmith104.com\httpdocs\cattlepointfoundation\wp-content\themes\themes\twentyfourteen\sidebar.php’), dynamic_sidebar, call_user_func_array, WP_Widget->display_callback, WP_Widget_Categories->widget, wp_list_categories, get_categories, get_terms, update_termmeta_cache, update_meta_cache
Please could you help. Godaddy expert level support has no idea how to add the missing “termmeta” table. I have no SQL expertise but could perhaps run a SQL command in phpAdmin
Your post would be much easier to follow for someone like me NOT skilled in mySQL if I could simply paste the whole thing into Notepad; add my own database prefix "wesmith104_foun.L5fjV3F9" and the execute was all I needed to do.
I believe this is going to be a serious issue for Godaddy. And anyone upgrading from WP4.3 -> 4.4
