Validate Database Schema

The Validate Database Schema tool compares the current Noptin database structure with the schema required by the installed version of the plugin.

Open the Validate Database Schema tool

  1. In the left WordPress admin menu, click Noptin, then open Dashboard.
  2. Click Tools in Noptin’s top navigation.

The check looks for missing tables, missing columns, incompatible column types or defaults, and missing indexes. It does not modify the database.

Understanding the result

A success notice means the schema matches the installed plugin. If differences are found, the notice lists the affected tables, columns, or indexes. Create a backup and use the Repair Database Tables tool to attempt a repair.
