Hi support,
Yesterday I got the following table errors:
37 [ERROR] mariadb: Table '_wpforo_posts' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
38 [ERROR] mariadbd: Table '_wpforo_topics' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
There were no DB / table errors within wpForo control panel, nor were there any issues in the debug tab.
(Tables/Servers/Errors & Issues: No issues found)
What I did
- deleted all caches
- clean up
- ran a `sudo mysqlcheck --repair --all-databases`
I received a
_wpforo_posts OK
_wpforo_topics OK
However today I have again received the following system error (only for Topics)
38 [ERROR] mariadb : Table '_wpforo_topics' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
Besides running a repair again like I did already, is there anything else you would recommend?
Thanks

Update: I now don't think this was a database issue. It was likely caused by web scrapers crashing the site, so closing as resolved for now.
