    Hi Tobias,

    I’ve been using the plug-in for a couple of years. All of a sudden I am unable to save 2 of 4 tables. The 2 tables I’m unable to save are long tables. The 2 tables I can save are short. If I click “Save and go back” the page just refreshes and the changes are removed.

    I’ve disabled all plug-ins and that didn’t work. Upgrading is not an option.

    Is there a file I can go in and manually update?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Most likely, the reason for this is in the security configuration of the server, that prevents saving large tables.
    This is actually one of the reasons why WP-Table Reloaded is now outdated and no longer supported, as it has been superseded with TablePress, which has a new saving mechanism that is not prone to this problem.
    For more information, please see http://tobias.baethge.com/2013/01/tablepress-replaces-wp-table-reloaded/

    Therefore, you should follow the instructions in that post and migrate to TablePress. You can import your tables during the process and will then be able to edit them in TablePress.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thanks for your quick reply Tobias.

    Is there a file I can manually edit? Right now I don’t have the time it takes to upgrade my WordPress and deal with all the issues that come with that.

    Thanks again,
    Paul

    Hi Tobias,

    My service provider was able to fix this for me.

    FYI

    [29-Sep-2013 12:24:29 America/New_York] PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0

    It was set to 1000, I set it to 2000 now.

    That’s set server wide, alternatively, you can place a custom php.ini in /home/username/ and then add this to .htaccess in public_html

    suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/

    Hi Paul,

    yes, that’s the relevant PHP setting, from what I know.
    Good to hear that your webhost company could help with this.

    However, please, please, please update your WordPress version! Only that will guarantee that your site is safe, as the older versions sometimes contain security problems. If your site gets hacked, that will cause more trouble than dealing with those minor update issues now!
    Also, only that will guarantee that you can use the best and latest versions of many plugins.

    Regards,
    Tobias
