$query = "ALTER TABLE `" . $table_prefix . "posts_to_bookmark`
ADD COLUMN `ping_status` INT(1) NOT NULL
AFTER `<TABLE COLUMN BEFORE THIS COLUMN>`";
I believe you need to have ADD COLUMN
and use AFTER
, not BEFORE
.
In case you want to place column at the beginning of a table, use the FIRST
statement:
$query = "ALTER TABLE `" . $table_prefix . "posts_to_bookmark`
ADD COLUMN `ping_status` INT(1) NOT NULL
FIRST";
