PHP 5.3.29 is very old and the recent version (5.6 or even 7.0) are much faster and require less memory. * Can you maybe try further increasing the limit, e.g. to `1024M`? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [chuck815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuck815/) * (@chuck815) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixed-header-issues/#post-7474053) * Hello TobiasBg. * I have made your recommended changes. server now running: CentOS 6.8 with MySQL 5.6.30 Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.6.22 WP Memory Limit: 1G * But still no success.

Can you now please set the `WP_DEBUG` constant to ` true` again (in the wp-config.php) so that we get an error message again? * Also, how big is this table (rows and columns)? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [chuck815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuck815/) * (@chuck815) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixed-header-issues/#post-7474070) * Hello TobiasBg. * Ok, I have turned on the WP_DEBUG * This message came up: Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget in GFW_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use __construct() instead. in / home/aboutbibbs/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3718 * In regards to the size of the table rows and columns … there are 8 columns. At the moment, there are only 100 rows, however the completed table will have at least 750 rows. Is that going to be a problem for this plugin? * If you anticipate the size of this table being a issue, then there is no reason to waste your time with this, and I will try to find another solution. If not, I really appreciate you helping me with this TobiasBg. * Thanks again * Charles * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixed-header-issues/#post-7474071) * Hi Charles, * so are you are no longer getting memory errors when going to [http://aboutbibbs.com/test-table/](http://aboutbibbs.com/test-table/) with `WP_DEBUG` being on? Only that constructor being deprecated notice? * That would be strange, as that shouldn’t trigger the server from generating the full page content. * A table of that size should not be a problem. It might be slow on the table’s“ Edit” screen, but it should display fine on the frontend. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [chuck815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuck815/) * (@chuck815) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixed-header-issues/#post-7474073) * TobiasBg, my understanding of backend code is very limited.

Could you therefore please get in touch via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks! * Regards, Tobias * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixed-header-issues/#post-7474083) * Hi Charles, * thanks for your email! I was able to fix this now, and [http://aboutbibbs.com/test-table/](http://aboutbibbs.com/test-table/) should be working fine. * The cause for this was very simple: You had copied the text from your initial post of this thread into the table, multiple times. This text again contains the Shortcode, i.e. a reference to the same table. When that is then executed, it basically ran an infinite loop (the Shortcode tries to execute itself tries to execute itself tries to execute itself …). Eventually, the server ran out of resources so that the request was stopped, resulting in the blank page. * I removed this content from the table now, so that it should display fine again 🙂 * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [chuck815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuck815/) * (@chuck815) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixed-header-issues/#post-7474089) * THANK YOU so much TobiasBg! * I really appreciate you figuring that out for me. I wish other plugin authors were like you. * Peace and blessings to you. * Charles. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixed-header-issues/#post-7474090) * Hi, * no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped! * Best wishes, Tobias * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please [rate TablePress](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tablepress) here in the plugin directory.
