 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * That messages talks about not being able to open a file (“Failed opening required‘/…./
   tablepress/libraries/freemius/start.php’”).
 * I assume that the plugin update or installation was maybe incomplete. Can you
   please delete the /wp-content/plugins/tablepress/ folder from the server and 
   re-install TablePress from a fresh download?
 * Regards,
   Tobias
