Answers.Text: Wow......uh, thanks.....As a non-profit volunteer with no budget, I don't have money to spend on getting help, so I was hoping to find help here.  I've learned a lot about civi over the past few weeks, but I'm still having problems with this issue. Oh well.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-02-22)
  
  We have wordpress 4.9.4 and civi volunteer 4.7.21-2.2.3
  
  When someone makes a contribution or joins as a member, we get a missing table database error (from the error log):
  Table 'vahcrm.civicrm\_value\_volunteer\_commendation\_7' doesn't exist
  
  This error occurs after the transaction goes through and civi tries to update the database and the user gets the error:
  Failed to update contribution in database
  
  When we try to renew a membership, we get (from the error log):
  Table 'vahcrm.civicrm\_value\_civivolunteer\_5' doesn't exist
  
  A little background....I'm a volunteer for a non-profit. The previous web/civi admin person moved everything to a new site, broke the site into a multi-site configuration without fully setting everything up, and then quit. I came to the civi problems having only heard the word civi before. I would appreciate ANY help I can get to figure this out.
  
  How do I go about finding and fixing this problem?

  If you are new to CiviCRM and facing a partially configured, broken multi-site configuration I'd recommend you find a [Partner](https://civicrm.org/partners-contributors) to help you. (Disclosure: I'm one of them - there are many others!).
