    Hi!!! I am using your plugin and having some major issues which are making my life difficult..

    First is the problem that when i login to my wordpress admin and go to tablepress page and then edit any table then it just keeps loading and loading and then becomes irresponsive at the end so i cant edit any record.

    Second when i go to the homepage of my site then it takes very long time to load and apply pagination thus making my site load time very slow..

    Then i have installed an extension ”
    TablePress Extension: Individual Column Filtering (with dropdowns)” but its not working even i included true condition in the shortcode “[table id=1 datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=2,3,4 /]”

    Below is link to my homepage, i also can provide you admin login if you want

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Unfortunately, I don’t really have good news here. The TablePress “Edit” screen is not really suited well for large tables, like yours. Right now, I can only make two suggestions:
    1) You could try with a different browser. Due to different implementations of JavaScript, some are better than others (and this changes from version to version…), so testing Chrome, Firefox, and even Internet Explorer/Edge is always a good idea here.
    2) If that’s also not to your satisfaction, I can only suggest to manage and edit the table offline, e.g. in Excel and to re-import it from a CSV file into TablePress, choosing to replace the existing version.

    Unfortunately, this will not help with the frontend performance. As all data has to be sent from the server to the browser, and then has to be parsed by the JavaScript library, this will simply take time.

    Regarding the Extension: That’s not the correct one for these Shortcode parameters. You should install and activate https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/

    This answer to @sarmd answers my situation with exactly the same problem.

    While loading the front page, would it be possible to have the table continue downloading IN THE BACKGROUND once the selected number of rows is loaded?

    Maybe just add a line or any little widget that fills up to show the % of the data loaded. That way the visitor would know that if not all the data is loaded, he might not find what he’s looking for, if it’s part of the data yet to be loaded.

    To @sarmd :

    I do as @tobias suggests for editing. Works fine. ??

    Just make sure your php.ini has upload_max_filesize big enough to support your CSV’s size.

    If you can’t change that, making smaller files will permit you to upload them easily. To give you an example, I’ve uploaded 25000 lines that gave a 1.8Mb file.

    Obviously, file sizes will vary depending on the quantity of data you put per row, but at least it makes you realize that you don’t necessarily have to cut your file to just a few thousands of rows.

    Hi,

    that suggestion with the upload filesize is indeed very important! Thanks for sharing that!

    Regarding frontend loading: Unfortunately, I haven’t found a nice way to implement that, so that I can’t make promises about if and when this might be possible, sorry.

    Regards,
    Tobias
