Fatal Error Happening on Some Installations After 1.0.49 Update

If you are getting a Fatal error on your website with the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Error saving action: Error saving action: Table 'dbname.prefix_wp8o_actionscheduler_actions' doesn't exist in /…/wp-content/plugins/action-scheduler/classes/migration/ActionScheduler_DBStoreMigrator.php:44

Or something similar including action-scheduler in the error, then please follow the following steps to fix the issue.

1 Before performing any action, we recommend taking a backup of your database.

2 Use our Repair Action Scheduler plugin that can fix this issue automatically on most sites:
https://github.com/rankmath/_repair-action-scheduler

For a multisite, use the following files:
https://github.com/rankmath/_repair-action-scheduler-multisite

On the GitHub page, we linked, click on the green “Code” button and then on “Download ZIP”. Then upload that ZIP file to your site on this admin page: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin

Once you activate the plugin, it should do its thing and then deactivate itself automatically. The following messages might show up:

Created table: actionscheduler_actions
Created table: actionscheduler_claims
Created table: actionscheduler_groups
Created table: actionscheduler_logs

The Repair Action Scheduler plugin has been automatically deactivated.

Then you should be able to activate and use Rank Math without any issue.
