Ajax Error When Saving Table

    I’ve created multiple tables today without trouble, and am now getting the error:
    Saving failed: AJAX call failed: error – Not Found. Try again while holding down the “Shift” key.

    It’s a small table, 15 rows, 3 columns. I’ve tested it with all of my other plugins disabled, and on 2011 theme – same error. I have created nine tables successfully today – the problem started on table #10.

    Funny, the plugin started producing the error right after I donated $10 ??

    Interesting to note, I can go in and make edits to tables 1-9 and the edits save. I receive the error message on tables #10 and #11.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post (and of course for your donation), and sorry for the trouble.

    I’m not exactly sure, but my assumption here is that some kind of server configuration blocks the save request and instead triggers that “Not found” error.
    This can for example be caused by security extensions on the server that think that there is suspicious content in a request (even when there isn’t) and then raise that error.

    To find out more about this, I’d like to take a direct look at your site. Could you therefore please contact me via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”) with details to a temporary account to your site?
    If I find something, we should be able to fix it ourselves or we’ll have to contact your web host company.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    just for everybody following this thread:
    We worked on this directly on the affected server, and the reason for the problem seems to be a security extension that is installed on the server.
    There was text in a table cell that looked very similar to an SQL query, and the security extension apparently didn’t like that and blocked the request.
    Slightly rephrasing that text solved the problem.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
