What’s happening when you click the “Save Changes” button on the table’s “Edit” screen? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [goprop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goprop/) * (@goprop) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-table-content/#post-11543597) * Hi Tobias, Thanks for your prompt reply. And no trouble, any bugs come up, I am sure you can fix. Anything you fix makes for a better product. When I save changes, nothing happens. I Save Changes, exit and open the table again, the table is there, but blank. All cells empty None of the options on the table manipulation work. I am using latest Firefox browser. regards, Bruce * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-table-content/#post-11544489) * Hi Bruce, * ok, if nothing happens when you click that button, I assume some JavaScript error. Can you therefore please try again after temporarily deactivating all other plugins and after switching to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Sixteen? That way, we can find what’s causing this. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [goprop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goprop/) * (@goprop) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-table-content/#post-11545418) * Hi Tobias, Deactivated every single plugin, tried twenty sixteen and twenty nineteen themes. Tried changing browser to chrome. Tried different php versions It just won’t save the table content. Can it be in the .htaccess? See below.

Instead, it’s likely a JavaScript problem, as you say that nothing at all is happening when you click “Save Changes”. Can you therefore please check the JavaScript error log console in your browser, to see if there are any JS errors reported? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [goprop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goprop/) * (@goprop) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-table-content/#post-11547527) * Hi Tobias, This is what i get on Console when I hit SAVE CHANGES [https://pastebin.com/iMmHCFdK](https://pastebin.com/iMmHCFdK) I know less than nothing about java, so does not help me at all.

It seems that some JavaScript files are not loaded here, which is why a “onboarding.js” file causes an error. Can you please find out the full path of that file, so that we know what it belongs to? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [goprop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goprop/) * (@goprop) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-table-content/#post-11549876) * Hi Tobias, thanks for all the trouble. Problem is now (almost) solved Running the console identified that the image, which is the trigger to save the table, i**s not found ALTHOUGH WE CAN SEE IT** I have had similar 404 errors on other plugins, assuming they just did not work, so simply kept trying new plugins. The actual problem is the .htaccess file, which has a lot of “deny all” applications as a security feature, however it appears to also partially deny admin access to images. My site is SSL, but kept getting “images not secure” message when loading pages, hence installation of the super secure (and fast) .htaccess file that I am using. Anybody want to use it, see the paste on earlier post. But be aware of this problem. I can not see any images in the image gallery, but when I want to insert an image into a post, I can upload and see other images in the gallery. Reverting to the original, insecure, slow WP .htaccess file has everything working again. Now I just have to find which of the 456 odd lines in the .htaccess file is giving the problem and change that, so that i can secure the site again.

If the script can’t find the image, 404 error, script stops running. **Got it pinned down.** Line 256 on the custom .htaccess reads “RewriteRule . – [F,L]” I commented/deleted this line, now everything is working. Image library works, your plugin works, other plugins that weren’t working, work. The .htaccess works really well, got 99% GTmetrix score on this site, and I don’t get SSL “Images not secure Error” I don’t know how safe it is from hackers, time will tell. Thanks again for all the help, I hope others are able to use this to assist them with their problems.
