Hi Tobias, sorry for the delayed response, I just sent you an e-mail with details.

I’m looking forward to your response.

Thank you!

Hey Tobias,

This site I’m working on still has WordPress 5.5.3 (and PHP 7.2). That’s why I installed TablePress 1.12 instead of its latest version.

But we plan to roll out the next platform release in the weeks. And this version will have WordPress 5.8.4 (and PHP 7.4), which should work with TablePress 2.0.

That said, and considering this matter of the color importing, I’ve installed the TablePress 2.0 (tablepress-dev.zip) on my testing site of this new platform version: https://bruno.php74.rmkr.net/

But unfortunately, when activating the plugin, I got this PHP Fatal Error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to a member function render() on null in /var/www/bruno.php74.rmkr.net/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/controllers/controller-admin.php:470
Stack trace:

#4 {main}

Actually, I noticed that this error is thrown only when accessing the /admin/admin.php?page=tablepress page.

Could you please share your thoughts on it? Should we fix this error, or would it be something with other impacts?

Thank you!

Yes, that’s correct. I’m importing from a google spreadsheet so I can use its dynamic link for the Auto Import extension.

That’s excellent news, TablePress 2.0! I’m really eager to see it working.

But since it’s a test version, would it be safe to have it up and running on a production server?

Sure, thanks for the quick reply!

Just one more question: When I have WordPress updated to 5.8.3 and PHP updated to 7.4, do you see any issues with keeping the TablePress 1.12?

I know I can easily update TablePress as well, but I’d like to keep options in mind.

Thanks again!
