Whenever I have the “Polls” plugin activated, every user gets an “Access denied – you do not have permission to view this page” error. I also get the little fading warning box about “Invalid Database Query” up top. Disabling the plugin makes the error go away.

I found the following entry in the error log:

file: /home/myusername/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/forum/content/classes/sp-topic-view-class.php
line: 236
function: select
error: Unknown column ‘poll’ in ‘field list’

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS group_id, wp_sftopics.topic_id, wp_sftopics.forum_id, topic_name, topic_slug, topic_status, topic_pinned, topic_icon, topic_opened, wp_sftopics.post_count, forum_name, forum_slug, forum_status, forum_disabled, forum_rss_private, wp_sfposts.post_id, post_date, wp_sfposts.user_id, wp_sftopics.user_id AS topic_starter, guest_name, guest_email, post_status, post_pinned, post_index, post_edit, poster_ip, source, post_content, NULL AS new_post, polls, poll, expire_date FROM wp_sftopics JOIN wp_sfposts ON wp_sftopics.topic_id=wp_sfposts.topic_id JOIN wp_sfforums ON wp_sftopics.forum_id=wp_sfforums.forum_id WHERE wp_sftopics.topic_id=7079 ORDER BY post_pinned DESC, wp_sfposts.post_id ASC LIMIT 0, 20

I have the latest version of both: SimplePress is 5.7.1 and Polls is 1.6.1.

I did, however, recently upgrade WordPress and SimpleForum through several generations to get them up to date; perhaps a database table wasn’t updated correctly along the way.

Thank you for any help!
