Hi!
Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
Ah, it seems that you are affected by https://tablepress.org/release-announcement-tablepress-3-0/#known-issues due to the columns that are hidden with CSS code. Just extend that with that additional CSS command and everything should work fine again.
Best wishes,
Tobias
Thanks Tobias but now I have a new problem!
https://melsmarsh.com/service/ (for example)
Now the line header and the info in the next row doesn’t line up
Hi,
I’m not entirely sure, but my feeling is that the aggressive optimization that is done on the site’s CSS and JavaScript code (with the Jetpack Boost plugin, I believe) might play a role here.
For a test, can you please temporarily deactivate that?
Best wishes,
Tobias
OK, I just did that and it doesn’t appear to have any affect on that table.
Here is the crazy thing. Not all tables are doing that. For example : https://melsmarsh.com/production/stage-management-events/ seems ok.
Hi,
when I check, the CSS code is still being loaded inline, and the JS code still seems to be loaded from an extra file, seemingly created by Jetpack Boost (I believe that’s what’s being used here). Or am I maybe just seeing cached versions (via W3 Total Cache)?
Best wishes,
Tobias
I individually turned off all of the options and then deactivated Jetpack Boost entirely.
I just now cleared the cache.
Hi,
Unfortunately, it still seems that files are loaded from some “boost-cache” folder 🙁
Maybe this is related to W3 Total Cache now caching those old locations?
Best wishes,
Tobias
OK I finally am coming back to this but W3 Total Cache is completely deactivated and it still isn’t working. The tables that are being affected are inconsistent and have always been inconsistent over if it is affected or not. I don’t understand.
Hi,
please also turn off Jetpack Boost for a test.
Best wishes,
Tobias
I’ve deactivated Jetpack boost. Still not working.
Hi,
I’m still seeing CSS files being loaded from the https://melsmarsh.com/wp-content/boost-cache/static/ folder. So somewhere, some caching must still be active, I’m afraid :-/
Best wishes,
Tobias
OK these are the active plugins, nothing here should be caching and I had the site ground people purge what they could.
- Askimet (Spam)
- All in one SEO
- Astra Pro (this is my theme)
- Brevo (email list)
- Classic Editor
- Contact Form 7
- Date Counter
- MyBookTable
- Sucuri Security
- TablePress
Hi,
From these, only Sucuri stands out. I believe they have a CDN cache feature. Maybe that’s now caching your already-locally-cached site… Can you check if you can somehow flush that CDN cache? (Probably not in the plugin itself, but in some customer portal on their website.)
Other than that, I’m out of ideas where that caching is coming from. I can just tell you what I’m seeing in the code of the page https://melsmarsh.com/awards/…
Best wishes,
Tobias
I just manually flushed the cache again. It still is giving the same issue. I also checked it on other computers and browsers
This issue came after an update from TablePress a few months ago.
Hi,
ok, I think we are making progress! I’m no longer seeing those boost-cache folders, but the expected immediate files 🙂
Now I can see that you are hiding a column with CSS, and that the suggestion I made in that link in one my first replies does not work.
So, please remove the CSS code for table 15 (namely
.tablepress-id-15 .column-1 {
display: none;
}
.tablepress-id-15 colgroup {
display: none;
}
) from your “Custom CSS”. Then, change the “Custom Commands” text field on the table 15’s “Edit” screen to
columnDefs: [
{ orderData: [ 0, 1 ], targets: [ 1 ] },
{ visible: false, targets: [ 0 ],
],
order: [ [ 1, "desc" ] ],
This will hide that first column in the now-appropriate way, while using that information to correctly sort the more complex year values in the second column.
Best wishes,
Tobias
