HELP! Some new update must have changed my tables!

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

I don’t really think that an update was involved here. More likely, there’s just some CSS interference.
Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, as well as links to those pages with the original tables, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Restoring from that FTP backup won’t be possible, as tables are stored in the database on the server. It might prove useful though, in case we need to reinstate the CSS file. But to know that, I’d like to take a look first.

Regards,
Tobias

Thanks for the reply. Is this public? I’d like to give you credentials to access our wordpress installation to better understand what my problem is. Here it is: Some thing has changed and we did not make ANY changes to the website other than constant updates to plugins and WordPress. The RATES table is the one you see at https://www.ahfonline.com/rates. Right now it is ugly and missing lots of info. that is because that table is supposed to be a bunch of links to another table called JR RATES, which is exactly the same, except it autoupdats its data from a google gsheet that we change everyday. the RATES table has lost ALL of its links to the JR RATES table and also all the very time consuming formatting that made it look nice, along with the formulas that were used in some of the columns. Also, I saw that the auto updating was disabled and the 2 other tables had to be changed form references to cell B3, to references to cell C4, which tells me that some update of the plugin dramatically changed things. The Custom CSS that you wrote for me is still intact but the cell formatting, the links and the calcs in the cells are all gone. Just raw data there now. To fix this myself would mean RE LEARNING all the formatting syntax of Tablepress that i have forgetten now after 3 years of up and running problem free, and spending the same 30 hours I did 3 years ago! This is so overwhelming I cant tell you! I was hoping that I could somehow access the OLD table just to see the formatting and link code and the calc codes and then I would be happy to just re-do the RATES table from scratch. The problem is I dont know how to access a FTP backup copy of the website. Can you help with this? Please?

Thanks so much!

Desperately,
JM

Hi,

yes, these are public forums. For personal messages, please send me an email, the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”.

I can’t really see anything wrong in the table in your link, but that might be because I don’t know how it’s supposed to look.

From your description, I’m absolutely sure though that this was not caused by a TablePress or WordPress update. Those would never change the content in your tables (like changing those formula references from B3 to C4). This must have been done by something else, like someone importing and overwriting the table with an old version?
