 * I’m getting this error when I try make a table, it shows under theheader ‘Table
   Content’:
 * `Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in/
   home/th3monk3y/going.red/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 3192`
 * I’ve disable all other plugins, no difference. I’ve just installed this plugin
   and
 * I’m using a json file from a url.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this basically is that that JSON file has its own/custom structure,
   and not one that TablePress can handle. TablePress basically expects a two-dimensional
   array encoded in that JSON file (like those it exports), but it can not import
   arbitrary JSON files like that. Sorry.
 * Now, parts of that file are an array of objects, from what I can see (namely 
   the `data` chunk), and if you isolate that, it should be possible to import that.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
