    I could not login to my WP Admin. It said it needed to repair the data base. When it finished the repair attempt it gave me this error:

    The wp_options table is not okay. It is reporting the following error: Table is marked as crashed and last repair failed. WordPress will attempt to repair this table…
        Failed to repair the wp_options table. Error: Number of rows changed from 0 to 617

    Any idea how to fix that? I could not find a file with the name “wp_options”.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi,

    This usually means the wp_options database table is corrupted/crashed. YouFirst please take a full database backup before trying anything. Then you can try these steps:

    • Repair via phpMyAdmin:
    Go to phpMyAdmin → select your WP database → tick wp_options table → choose Repair table from the dropdown.

    • WordPress DB repair mode:
    Add this line in wp-config.php:
    define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);
    Then visit: yourdomain.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php and run repair.
    (Remove the line afterward for security.)

    • If repair fails, contact your hosting provider — sometimes MySQL crashes need server-level repair.

    • If you have a recent backup, restoring it may be the safest option.

    Also, wp_options is a database table (not a file), so you won’t find it in File Manager.

    Hope this helps 🙂

    Use the PHPMYADMIN method. At this point, the internal method probably won’t work.
