There are a very few hosting services with MySQL server configuration which doesn't allow wpForo to complete all tables installation on activation process. This is the main reason why you get "Topic Add Error" when you try to create a new topic:
Started from wpForo 1.6.0 version you can easily fix all database issues in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Debug Tab > Tables Sub-Tab. There you can find all issues. Just click on the [Solve database problems] button and wait for fixing. It may take a few seconds or dozens of minutes depended on your database size.
Hello, I have inserted your code, except I replaced "wp_" to "_wp" ...new tables were created, but the error is still present, do you have any other solution? Thank you.

You've created tables with incorrect table prefix. Wy you've changed "wp_" to "_wp"? I don't think your table prefix is "_wp". Could you please leave some screenshot of your WP tables?
Robert!
I executed the sentence at my db but the issue persists. Heres my db structure
Hi dalejandrom,
Please Uninstall wpForo (not deactivate), it'll remove all tables and data. Then Install it again. Then use the SQL above, I just updated and adapted for current wpForo versions. That was a little out of date. Now it should work fine.
Thanks you
Really appreciated, Robert.
Because you've translated the SQL code too. The code is changed. For example:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is changed to:
CREATE TABLE SI NO EXISTE
Please don't translate code, use it as is.
Hi @studiografic31,
Please execute the whole SQL at once. Also please leave a screenshot of all wpforo tables. You should add yje first line for all SQL's if you execute them separately.
SET SQL_MODE = "NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO";
The screenshot you've attached to your post says nothing. Its a one table structure, i don't even see which table is that.
Ok, I see, your MySQL is very old version (we always recommend 5.6 and higher). So I made some changes in the code, please copy and try again. Don't forget the one row SQL on the top.
Robert,
I have an active installation and the "topic error" message just started coming up. We run the plugin on Wordpress.com so cpanel access is out. Please help!

I'm really sorry but we can't support issues on wordpress.com . We don't have business plugin there to debug. If you can install the ARI Adminer or SQL Executioner plugin and provide a screenshot of the wp_wpforo_topics table it would be very helpful.
