Between "INSERT INTO configuration" and "VALUES" need to add the field name(s) to which all of those characteristics/values belong.

For example, it appears that the first value of the SQL is the configuration_id and is using an OLD technique of asking the database to assign an empty set of quotes to an autonumber so that it will provide the next number... I say this is old, because no value needs to be provided for an autonumber field to provide the next autonumber... anyways, it would need to be edited to provide something similar to the following:

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES

and then everything that follows from above after the VALUES statement.

That plugin though probably has other issues that will not work with current PHP versions, but I am not highly familiar with it and am likely wrong.

Direction was provided in the previous post about adding text to the query begun in the first post. What is the status of trying to incorporate that text? I do not see that anything has been tried related to that discussion.

[jiji2018]

Your previous instructions, I don't know how to modify.
So I copied the complete SQL statement

Really think this should be an issue that is researched and addressed in the forum for this plugin. The forum can be found at the download link for the plugin.

When I followed that link. There are two buttons on the right side towards the top. One to download, one to go to the forum thread and then a separate link just below that to submit an update.

The forum thread is identified as: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...-2-5-4-support

There likely are messages towards the end of that thread that may relate to the issue(s). I will say though that regardless the software being executed, when that error message is seen, then the follow FAQ is expected to help resolve the issue: https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php...-and-try-again
