This might however be triggered by TablePress trying to flush the page caches. You could try to turn that off by adding the line * ``` add_filter( 'tablepress_flush_caching_plugins_caches', '__return_false' ); ``` * to the “functions.php” in your theme. You would then however have to flush the page caches manually after editing a table, so that changes become visible. * However, as this might have been a temporary issue with a large table, the question: Was the CSV file imported correctly, despite that error message? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [pankajdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pankajdev/) * (@pankajdev) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-csv-files/#post-4763777) * Functions.php was modified as instructed. Now, the only way tables get loaded and are when the WP Super Cache is disabled. Therefore each time a table needs to be loaded, WP Super Cache is disabled and enabled once we are done with Table Press uploads. Is there any solution to this? * Please advice. Thanks. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-csv-files/#post-4763778) * Hi, * I’m not sure that I understand. The line of code from above will tell TablePress to no longer flush the WP Super Cache caches whenever a table is imported or edited. You will now basically just have to do that manually whenever you update a table, but that is possible without deactivating WP Super Cache. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [pankajdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pankajdev/) * (@pankajdev) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-csv-files/#post-4763779) * Here is what we did – * 1: Added add_filter( ‘tablepress_flush_caching_plugins_caches’, ‘__return_false’); to the function.php * 2: Activated WP Super Cache plugin 3: Prepared a .csv file with 3 columns and 7 rows of data in it 4: Import file in Table press * I have tried the three options for working with Tablepress but neither worked out. * 1) Importing table – results in a blank screen. * 2) Creating a new table manually – results in a blank screen. * 3) Editing an already created table – results in the generation of this error message and table is not updated. The error message read – Saving failed: Ajax call failed error: Internal Server Error. Try again while holding down the SHIFT key. * On the other hand when we deactivate the WP Super Cache plugin and do any of the above to upload in Tablepress – all works well. * Hope this gives you better understanding. Please advice.

And that apparently takes a long time in W3 Super Cache… * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [pankajdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pankajdev/) * (@pankajdev) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-csv-files/#post-4763781) * OK – its WP Super Cache that we are using. * I guess will have to leave it at this. * Incase you think of something that could sort this out, let us know. * Until then we will play the activate/deactivate game with WP Super Cache * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-csv-files/#post-4763782) * Hi, * ah, my bad. I’m always mixing up the names… Sorry. * Yes, temporarily deactivating WP Super Cache will have to do as a workaround then. I have no other ideas about what might be causing this 🙁 * Regards, Tobias Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Error when importing csv files’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/icon.svg?rev=3192944) * [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * Last activity: [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-csv-files/#post-4763782) * Status: resolved
