Hi,
thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
As these are the English language forums, I will reply in English, I hope that is okay. If not, please send me an email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”), where we can talk in German.
Another thing: These are the support forums for the old and outdated WP-Table Reloaded plugin. But as you mention TablePress specifically, I assume that you already switched (or are starting freshly with TablePress actually).
1. There is no direct limit on the number of rows here, but sometimes server limits (like the available PHP memory) can cause trouble.
One idea that then usually works is indeed to split up the table into several smaller ones.
Then, import the first one as a new table, and also import the other pieces one by one, and each time, choose to Append (Anhängen) to the existing table.
That way, you can combine the smaller pieces into one bigger one again.
2. This is not possible, but with the suggestion from 1. it should not be necessary anyway.
3. Tables are not stored in files in a folder, but in the database. Specifically, they are stored as JSON encoded strings in the Custom Post Type “tablepress” in the “wp_posts” database table.
Regards,
Tobias
Hi Tobias,.
Thanks for the quick reply and the solution – really easy; I will step by step gradually expand the table.
Greetings
Dieter
PS: By the way: my son Tobias studied computer science at the University of Dresden on master, but I wanted to solve (?) the problem by myself:-)
Hi Dieter,
very nice, great to hear that this will help 🙂
And just for the fun, you could now challenge your son to find the same solution, without telling him that you already know the answer 🙂
Best wishes,
Tobias
P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
