Answers.Body: <p>There's no way to know what the problem is without enabling debugging.  Go to <a href="http://yoursite.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/admin/setting/debug&amp;reset=1" rel="nofollow">http://yoursite.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/admin/setting/debug&amp;reset=1</a> and see if you can turn on enable debugging.  That will display the actual query and MySQL error when you get this again.</p>

  There's no way to know what the problem is without enabling debugging. Go to <http://yoursite.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/admin/setting/debug&reset=1> and see if you can turn on enable debugging. That will display the actual query and MySQL error when you get this again.
