 * I’m having an error message. However, this error message pops up when I press
   save when working on a table. When I press the preview button, everything is 
   ok. Then when I press the save button TablePress says that the table has been
   saved, but when I go to view the actual page I get The internal data of this 
   table is corrupted! Then when I go to the specific table on Table Press I see
   this [ERROR] TABLE IS CORRUPTED! DO NOT EDIT THIS TABLE NOW!
    Instead, please
   ask for support at [http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress).
 * Can someone please help?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question and sorry for the trouble!
 * To find out more about this, could you please try the instructions from this 
   page: [http://tablepress.org/faq/corrupted-tables/](http://tablepress.org/faq/corrupted-tables/)?
 * That should help finding the cause for this (probably another plugin). If not,
   I’ll then gladly take a direct look at your site.
 * Regards,

 * Hi Tobias,
 * The error only affects the new tables that I try to create. The old tables we
   have on our website are fine (which makes me think it might not be a plugin issue).

 * Hi,
 * the old tables will be affected as soon as they contain characters like `"` and
   are then edited.
 * Did that suggestion in that page, with deactivating other plugins one by one 
   help?
 * If not, I’d like to take a direct look at this, if possible. Can you please send
   me an email as explained in that page? Thanks!

    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * just for everybody following this: I’ve worked on this directly with Plasman,
   and we found the cause for the issue:
    It’s in the plugin “SEO Blog Kahuna”, 
   which has this setting on its Settings screen: “Add rel=”nofollow” to all external
   links in Posts Contents. This option is checked each time you “Update” a Post.”
   That is messing with the internal data format of TablePress, because it’s too
   aggressive. With that setting turned off, tables will save fine.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

   back to normal!!
