Added blog stats on the left menu, takes forever to load.. like 20 seconds. (lol, we have reached the point that 20 seconds is forever).
On a second thought I’m trying to mess with the wordpress database… with SQL.. nothing fancy.. using MyAdmin (MyPHPSQL)..
I want to IF email = “whatever” insert “data” into “correct column”
Can anybody give me the correct syntax, I can pick the right tables without to much problems.. but the if thens in sql.. are a bit rusty.. and I need to get it right the first time.
