TCH-Bruce Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 What the error message is telling you is that the 'entry_password' column is already in the database. Sorry can't be more help. WordPress has this capability with a standard install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did suspect that that was what it meant. but do you think this is something that TCH databases provide or is it something I may have created inadvertently when i tried to do this same thing earlier? This must be sounding really dumb, but i simply have no clue how mysql databases work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 What ever software you install creates the database. It would be nothing that TCH created for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
