 * Hi Tobias – a while ago, at [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updates-to-tablespress-content-not-showing/#post-8846880](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updates-to-tablespress-content-not-showing/#post-8846880)

   > You could therefore try clearing the cache manually, by deleting all entries

   > Just be careful to NOT delete the `tablepress_options` and `tablepress_tables`
   > entries
 * I have some problems with cached table entries appearing, and I deleted the entries
   you mentioned above, but the cached table still appears.
 * Looking in the database, it seems that TablePress creates two transients for 
   each table, and I just want to check that this is correct.
 * For example, I see these four records for one table:
 * _transient_tablepress_c_70efdf2ec9b086079795c442636b55fb
   _transient_timeout_tablepress_c_70efdf2ec9b086079795c442636b55fb_transient_tablepress_fc9bdf75eafd20436f2861225f63ec1b_transient_timeout_tablepress_fc9bdf75eafd20436f2861225f63ec1b
 * So I think I have to delete the entries that contain `tablepress_fc` as well 
   as the ones you mentioned … is that correct?

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * Yes, please delete all those as well. (But note that the prefix is not `tablepress_fc`.
   The `fc` is already part of the unique identifier.)
 * So, please delete all entries that start with
 *     ```wp-block-code
       _transient_tablepress_
       _transient_timeout_tablepress_
       ```
   
 * Do NOT delete any options related to TablePress that do not start with `_transient_`.
 * In addition, please check if the page with the table actually still contains 
   the table Shortcode. I have seen themes in the past that replaced the Shortcode
   with static HTML code, e.g. when features like frontend editing were used.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias

   sense.
