    Hi we are trying to upload an html table 565 KB in size. We keep getting a table could not be uploaded error message.

    This file will upload just fine on another machine and network but won’t on a different machine two thousand miles away.

    Is this a memory problem or browser configuration issue? We are both using Firefox latest version.

    Thanks,
    john

    Hi John,

    if a HTML file uploads fine in one instance of WordPress and the plugin, but not on the other, my feeling is that this is a server configuration issue. It might for example be a memory problem, or there might be a security extension installed that messes with file uploads.
    It could also be that there are different PHP versions installed, so that the behavior of the used XML parsing functions is not consistent.

    Have you tried the CSV format? If you can import the HTML on one site, you could for example export it to CSV there, and then try that CSV on the first site.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    That is what i was thinking. I think the other person’s host (bluehost.com) uses PHP 5 and i am using PHP 4 on GoDaddy. Let me know if that plays there. We were able to upload a small html table but not the large one.

    I was wondering if it was a memory or network timeout problem problem.

    I was also thinking that perhaps a ftp upload might be a way to resource the file on the site. I don’t remember if the program.

    Thanks,
    john

    Hi John,

    yes, PHP5 versus PHP4 could definitely be the cause of the problem.

    Uploading the file through FTP could be worth a try. All you need to do then is to find out the absolute location (path) of the file on the server and paste that into the “From Server” field when importing.

    Have you tried the CSV way? That should actually be quicker and hopefully more successful.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    I just exported a csv file – interesting that it still gives an html extension. It is a much smaller file and uploads quickly. It worked on my end so i sent it off to the other person to give it a shot. We’ll see and let you know.

    Thanks again,
    john

    Hi John,

    are you sure that the export file got the .html extension by default and not because you clicked the previous html file in the “Save” dialog maybe?
    Anyway, the file extension does not matter to WP-Table Reloaded, so this should not be an issue.
    And yes, the CSV file should be smaller, because there’s not as much overhead in the file, like HTML tags.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
