I’ve been using your TablePress plugin for some time and it seemed to work very well. It’s a very good plugin to easily build complete useful tables, with image links, import/export, etc.

However, in the last weeks, it does not work with long or large tables, i.e. with a lot of rows. It is impossible to manipulate that kind of tables, to add, to change, or even not possible any commun parameter of the general table settings. It is even not possible to get access to that kind of tables.It’s very exasperating.

The browser states that unconvenient advice of “A website is slowing your browser. Stop it or wait?” (tested with Firefox and Chrome) and the requested table never shows up.

Thanks for your support.

First I would like to thank you for your amazing plugin!
I am currently renovating my website and I have some trouble with TablePress.

In particular regarding the page https://starwarslibricomics.it/star-wars-canon-cronologia/

The first table [id=1] is quite large, with 7 columns. I would like it to be, when visualizing from a desktop, on full width (not horizontal scrollable): i tried fixing the 100% width and the padding in my custom CSS but this seems to work only when the page is charging. When the page is ready the table goes back to the horizontal scrolling mode.

However, I also would like the table to be in “collapse” mode from mobile. To do this I tried to put the table twice in my page, basically between a tag

<div id="mobileshow">
[TABLECODE RESPONSIVE COLLAPSE]
</div> 

Of course neither of these solutions are working. I checked here and on th FAQ but I can’t solve the problems. Can you please help me?

PS: the site is in under construction mode but you can log-in with
USER: demo
PASSWORD: demo

Thanks a lot.

There is one major nag I have about it, thus the 4 star rating. It freezes up my browser tab when importing large files. Fortunately, it only freezes up that one browser tab and not all of Chrome.

The import is relatively quick (only a few seconds for a CSV file with 900+ rows), but when I get to the table edit screen, the browser freezes up and only lets me interact with the page once every 30 seconds or so. Not good.

It also imports a lot of empty “junk” columns for unknown reasons. But copying and pasting only the columns I wanted into a fresh .csv file seemed to take care of the junk column problem.

If the tab freeze isn’t an issue with the plugin itself, or my browser needs a memory adjustment, I’ll retract this review and give it 5 stars. Otherwise, I’ve had to move on to other plugins to import larger tables for my website.

Nonetheless, highly recommended tool for smaller to medium sized tables.

is it possible to incorporate some kind of batching mechanism into your plugin so that it can handle large sites better? i.e. where it could be configured to process a certain amount of posts at a time .. or something like that?

Hope you’ll like the idea.
