    I just took a copy of a WordPress system and moved it to my local machine. I have it working perfectly, including TablePress.
    Except that when I try to edit the TablePress plugin I receive this error messaage:

    Options saved successfully, but “Custom CSS” was not saved to file.

    Please can you suggest what might be wrong? Where exactly does it save the CSS to? Thanks.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    This indicates problems with the file access rights. Your WordPress installation is not able to save files to the wp-content folder. You could try to make that folder writable, maybe.

    Regardless, your “Custom CSS” code will be saved in the database and then simply loaded into the page as inline CSS code. This should not be a big problem on a local machine.

    Regards,

    I checked the security access rights on the folders. These are normal folders (Windows 10) and the user had permissions.
    You are correct that the changes were saved in the database as I could see them there when I looked again.
    However the changes were not making any difference, they definitely were not doing anything.

    I have now moved the system to a normal (Linux) server and TablePress works perfectly again, the changes I had made took effect.

    So it looks as if there is some issue when running TablePress on a local machine using WAMP. Everything else in WordPress was working fine. By the way the database was not on the local machine, but on a remote server, an interesting experiment.

    Hi,

    good to hear that it’s working on the other machine. Unfortunately, my limit about WAMP servers is limited, so that I don’t see what we could try here otherwise 🙁
