 * Hey Tobias,
 * unfortunately I am having another issue with Tablepress.
 * Every time I want to save the table I receive the following message:
 * “Speichern fehlgeschlagen: AJAX call successful, but unclear data. Try again 
   while holding down the “Shift” key.”
 * When I do hold the “Shift” key It says:
 * “Fehler: Die Tabelle konnte nicht gespeichert werden.”
 * Even though I received the messages, It always seemed like my table was saved
   nonetheless and I just ignored the warning. But today I made some changes to 
   my table and realized that the latest changes cannot be seen by visitors that
   are not logged into WordPress.
 * The table is located here: [https://pubquiztime.de/lokale/](https://pubquiztime.de/lokale/)
 * Thank you in advance!
    Benjamin

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Does your table have a table description? If not, please add one, even, if it’s
   just a text like “(no description)”. Some servers seem to have problems when 
   this text is empty, as I have noticed recently.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hey thank you for your quick reply and excuse my late answer.
 * The table always had a description. This does not cause the problem.
 * I observed the phenomenon and made the following observation:
    It seems like 
   the changes I make are saved after all but will only be shown to logged in users.
   Some time later the changes were also visible for other users.
 * I hope that helps a little.

 * Hi,
 * that’s still weird. This could then maybe be a caching problem.
 * Do you see the error message consistently? If so, it would be good if I could
   take a direct look. 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

 * Hi,
 * thanks! I’ve received it and replied. I suggest that we continue via email for
   now.
