    Hi there!

    Dear colleagues, if anyone had the same problem as I have and solve it, please, let me now.

    I need to import an XML table. Checking all the posible actions (uploading from HDD, selecting URL, file on server…) didn’t import that for me.

    There were many attempts with different XML files, but the same error.

    Help

    Hi,

    if you want to import an XML table, remember that it has to be in WP-Table Reloaded’s XML format, as documented here: https://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/documentation/#importexport

    You will either need to bring your XML into that format or to CSV or HTML.

    Tobias, tell me, please, how can I import not only static XML tables by choosing the “URL source for Import”, but also dynamically changing XML tables?

    I thought that I can do it by choosing “File on server source for Import”, but it imports only static table and isn’t susceptible for changes that are made on server.

    Hi,

    you are right, this will also only import the table once, but not repeatedly when the file changes.

    For something like that, it’s usually better to develop a custom solution that simply grabs the file from the disc each time and renders it on the page. If you then want the search/sorting functions, you can still add them manually, by including the DataTables JavaScript library (www.datatables.net).

    Regards,
    Tobias
