 * Hi Tobias,
 * after upgrading from 2.1.3 to 2.14 my site crashed with the following message:
 * Une erreur de type E_ERROR a été causée dans la ligne 57 du fichier ../wp-content/
   plugins/tablepress/tablepress.php. Message d’erreur : Uncaught Error: Failed 
   opening required ‘../wp-content/plugins/tablepress/libraries/freemius/start.php’(
   include_path=’.:/opt/plesk/php/8.2/share/pear’) in ../wp-content/plugins/tablepress/
   tablepress.php:57
 * Stack trace:
 * #0 ../wp-content/plugins/tablepress/tablepress.php(87): tb_tp_fs()
   #1 ../wp-settings.
   php(453): include_once(‘…’)#2 ../httpdocs/wp-config.php(91): require_once(‘…’)#
   3 ../wp-load.php(50): require_once(‘…’)#4 ../wp-login.php(12): require(‘…’)#5{
   main}  thrown
 * Of course, I had to rollback the upgrade. I run latest WordPress 6.2.2 with pho
   8.2.6. Can you please help.
 * Best,
   Franco

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This indicates that the update somehow was incomplete, maybe due to a corrupted
   download. Please simply try again, or try again manually, by download TablePress
   and uploading the ZIP file via “Plugins” -> “Add New” -> “Upload plugin”.
 * Regards,
   Tobias
