 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * What exact URL are you using? And does this JSON source use the required format
   for a TablePress table, which is a two-dimensional array?

 * Hi,
 * again: What exact URL are you using? And does this JSON source use the required
   format for a TablePress table, which is a two-dimensional array?
    I need to see
   all this, if you want me to help.

 * Hi,
 * thanks! The problem here is that this not a valid TablePress table format.
    Tables
   in JSON have to look like
 *     ```
       [
       ["cell A1","cell B1","cell C1"],
       ["cell A2","cell B2","cell C2"],
       ["cell A3","cell B3","cell C3"]
       ]
       ```
   
 * for them to be recognized.

    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * that’s interesting. To be honest, I don’t really know why. Are other URLs working
   on your live site?
