Popularity Contest Plugin Error

Posted by Adi Wong On February - 5 - 2008

For some reason, when I activated the Popular Post Plugin by Alex King, there is some error stating that wp_ak_popularity table does not exist. When I check at phpmyadmin, I only found the table wp_ak_popularity_options which is a slightly different table. I am not sure why this exist and I belief no other people is facing this when I did a search at the big G and Wordpress forum.

I can’t find any solution out there, therefore I decided to create my own table. All you need to create you table is to login into you phpmyadmin account, click on SQL tab and paste the following code:-

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS wp_ak_popularity (
post_id int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
total int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
feed_views int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
home_views int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
archive_views int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
category_views int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
single_views int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
comments int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
pingbacks int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
trackbacks int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
last_modified datetime NOT NULL default ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00′,
KEY post_id (post_id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;



Hopefully it will solve some of your problem.

    I am also facing the same problem. Tried hard but didn’t get any solution. Does above mentioned procedure helped you in getting the plugin working?

    yes…the solution works..you will need to use phpmyadmin to access your mySQL account.
