Issue with Automatic Periodic Table Import (probably memory?)

    Hi. Before posting this, I searched this forum, but could not find solution, so decided to open new one. The closest issue I found was this one, but it did not help either: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/auto-import-tablepress/

    I tried to activate Automatic Periodic Table Import, but it did not work. Column “Last Auto Import” shows nothing, just a dash. I tried once file from server, and once from URL, none of them worked.

    So I tried to import manually, and in both cases (from server o from URL), I got this error, related to memory limit:

    https://image.ibb.co/gUwNsz/Tablepress_autoupdate_error_1.png

    I tried to increase memory limit in wp-config . php to 128 and 256 M, and to set Cron job manually, as explained in this topic I quoted above, but it did not help.

    Then I checked all tables, and saw that tables were actually imported, I saw them in list of all tables, and in each page I see the same warning on the top:

    https://image.ibb.co/kCw0ee/Tablepress_autoupdate_error_2.png

    Though, after that, site did not work, it is broken now, shows that error and meaningless symbols.

    I tried to deactivate Tablepress plugin, but problem remained.

    Then I tried to deactivate two extensions I have, Responsive Tables and Table Auto Update, and I cannot deactivate them – page reloads, but they stay activated.

    So I tried to delete Tablepress itself, but was not able, the same way – page says “Deleting…”, and then reloads, but after reloading, Tablepress is still there…

    I tried to loging from another browser, but I’m not able to, as I said, site is inaccessible…

    Will have to manually delete the plugin, it seems, but it would be nice to resolve the issue; can you help, please.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    It seems that you might have added another line like

    define( 'WP_DEBUG', ...

    somewhere (maybe in your wp-config.php) when there already existed one a little bit higher in the file.
    You must remove the duplicate line and then increase the value in the first line.

    Hi, thank you for the reply. I have checked, and it is not the case.

    I changed WP_DEBUG from false to true, I hoped to see some error in error log or your plugin page; I switched it back to false.

    It is not duplicate, there is no other line with that content. And WP_MEMORY_LIMIT is defined in line 91, as mentioned in this error, and nowhere else, it is also not a duplicate…

    Do you have any other idea?

    Hi,

    I meant

    define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', ...

    of course. Given the error message, this clearly must be the case.
    Also, that extra “d” (visible on the first screenshot) might be related here.

    Well, MEMORY_LIMIT was not duplicate for sure, but there was letter “d” on the very beginning of the document, I probably inserted it by the error, stupid stuff; now, it’s back online.

    It remains to see whether Auto Import will work once I re-install Tablepress and that extension and try again, but have no time for that now; will let you know; I will still not check that field “Reply and mark as resolved”… 😉

    Thank you for the support!

    Hi,

    good to hear that the site is working again! 🙂

    I recommend to increase the (existing) value of WP_MEMORY_LIMIT now, and to also try an actual server cron job. Unfortunately, that’s the only real thing I can suggest here :-/

    If you don’t mind, I will click “Reply and mark as resolved”, as this helps me to better keep track of open tickets and where my reply is still needed. Of course, whenever you have time again, we can un-check that checkbox again! Thanks for your understanding!

    Regards,
    Tobias
