 * Since updating to TablePress from WP-Table Reloaded, the admin menu item has 
   gone missing. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled, deactivated, and re-activated.
   And still, the menu is just plain gone.
 * Please help! We can’t edit our tables, but they still render. Help!?!?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Does this happen for all admin users? Most likely there’s something wrong with
   the access capabilities. If possible, I’d like to take a direct look at this 
   on your site. Could you therefore please create a temporary admin account for
   me and send me the details via email (the address is in the main plugin file “
   tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thank you Tobias. I turned any plugins off to test any conflict and found none.
   I’m setting up your account now.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the account! I was able to log in and could verify the problem. From
   what I can see, it was caused by that Role Management plugin that you are using.
   That somehow didn’t pick up the extra capabilities that TablePress adds to WordPress(
   so that different user roles can perform different actions in TablePress).
    I
   was now able to fix this by resetting these capabilities and by flushing the 
   cache of the Role Manager plugin. Can you verify that everything now works?
 * (Oh, and you tricked me a little bit by renaming the Admin bar entry from “TablePress”
   to “Player Listings” 🙂 )

 * Thank you Tobias! You’re awesome. Sorry that I forgot to mention the name change.
   I looked at the roles and permissions settings and did not see it, so I will 
   learn next time to triple check. Sorry for the bother as clearly this was my 
   fault and not your awesome plugin.

 * Hi,
 * no problem, you are very welcome! (And thanks for the donation, by the way 🙂
 * And don’t worry, you didn’t really have a chance to fix this, I think. The Role
   Manager plugin doesn’t seem to show them for some reason (you should look for
   capabilities that start with “tablepress_” in their name).
    I had to restore 
   them in a kind of hacky way, and even then required that cache flushing. I guess,
   this is just one of the cases where the complexity of that Role Manager plugin
   haunts us a little bit.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
 * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please [rate TablePress](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tablepress)
   here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
