When I update to 5.0.5 of Revolution Slider, it breaks WP. I can’t even log into the admin section and have to manually remove the revslider folder. There errors I get seem to suggest that the database portion of the revslider is not be made correctly at installation. I get errors like the following:

ordPress database error Unknown column ‘advanced’ in ‘field list’ for query UPDATE wp_revslider_css SET settings = ‘{\”translated\”:5,\”type\”:\”text\”,\”version\”:\”4\”}’, params = ‘{\”color\”:\”#fff\”,\”font-weight\”:\”700\”,\”font-size\”:\”20px\”,\”line-height\”:\”20px\”,\”font-family\”:\”Arial\”,\”padding\”:\”2px 4px\”,\”border-width\”:\”0px\”,\”border-style\”:\”none\”,\”background-color\”:\”#888\”}’, hover = ‘null’, advanced = ‘{\”idle\”:{\”position\”:\”absolute\”,\”text-shadow\”:\”0px 2px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)\”,\”margin\”:\”0px\”,\”white-space\”:\”nowrap\”},\”hover\”:\”\”}’ WHERE id = ‘1’ made by require_once(‘C:\Apache\htdocs\wordpress\wp-load.php’), require_once(‘C:\Apache\htdocs\wordpress\wp-config.php’), require_once(‘C:\Apache\htdocs\wordpress\wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘plugins_loaded’), call_user_func_array, RevSliderPluginUpdate::do_update_checks, RevSliderPluginUpdate::update_css_styles, RevSliderDB->update, W3_Db->update, W3_DbCache->update, W3_DbCallUnderlying->update, W3_Db->update, W3_DbProcessor->update, W3_Db->default_update, W3_Db->query, W3_DbProcessor->query, W3_Db->default_query, referer:
