Try deleting the plugin files, reupload and reactivate. Before activating Gravity Forms for the first time after re-uploading the files, try deactivating all your other plugins and then activate Gravity Forms. If it isn't creating the tables then there is some sort of permission issue. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/bug-report-doesnt-check-to-see-if-the-database-exists#post-14093 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 19:14:21 +0000 paulcj2 14093@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have the same issue, except that my database user HAS create privileges.

It was coming up and saying it saved, but when I clicked "Continue Editing This Form" it would bring me to the new form creation screen. No matter what I tried, nothing was getting saved.</p> <p>Being a PHP developer, I decided to do some debugging. I opened up Firebug and started looking at the AJAX requests. To my surprise, the requests were being sent to save and getting a valid response. Looking at the response I was getting "EndInsertForm(0);". I did a quick grep and discovered that the 0 was supposed to be the ID of the newly created form.</p> <p>it obviously was having some sort of issue, so after a bit of debugging I realized the database tables hadn't been created! It turns out my DB user didn't have the permission to create tables (For some weird reason). </p> <p>Anyways, I think Gravity Forms should display some sort of notification saying that it was unable to create it's tables and will not be able to function. This may be sort of a fringe case, but it is easy to implement and might save some headaches. </p>
