    I used the plug-in the other day to produce two tables without any issues. Now I tried to create a new one using the New Table command. Filled in the table name Countries and tried to create it and got a warning message that the table could not be created.

    Nothing has changed on the site, so I am a bit puzzled. Is there any known conflicts with any other plug-ins you are aware of? I don’t think I added any others after this one.

    My site is: http://internationalpress.org and you can see I am using a table on this page without any issues. http://internationalpress.org/ipa-members

    Error: The table could not be added.

    I tried it in Firefox and Safari working on a new iMac

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    It’s strange that a new table could not be added. I’ve never really seen this before “in the wild”. This error message should only occur in a few rare cases…

    If possible, I’d like to take a direct look at this in the admin area on your site. Could you maybe contact me via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Len,

    first: Thanks for your donation, I really appreciate it! And thanks for wanting to rate TablePress!

    It’s really interesting that this suddenly worked after a restart! I’ve no idea how that could influence your website, and I actually don’t think that your RAM could be causing this. I guess, we’ll dismiss this as a temporay outage, and investigate it more closely if it happens again.

    I’ll now go through your post step by step and give feedback on the different questions:

    – the old plugin on your old site:
    There’s no immediate reason to update, but you should consider it for the next few weeks, just so that you can benefit from the many new features, enhancements, and better stability of TablePress on the old site, too. WP-Table Reloaded will not receive further updates, but should continue to work fine.

    – font color of the head row:
    That is possible by combining the example code from the TablePress FAQ at http://tablepress.org/faq/ to something like this:

    .tablepress thead th,
    .tablepress tfoot th {
    	color: #ffffff;
    }

    However, I’m not really sure if you need that table header row at all, as your table doesn’t really contain data that needs a table header row, or that is sortable.
    So, you might actually want to uncheck the “Sorting” checkbox on that table’s “Edit” screen and then hide the table head row with this “Custom CSS”:

    .tablepress-id-2 thead {
    	display: none;
    }

    – style changes in WP-Table Reloaded on the old site:
    I can’t really spot that many differences in the table styling here, except of course for the basic default styling, like cell background colors and borders. Besides that everything is in the content of the cells, where it’s most likely influenced by the theme styling indeed.

    – And for your last question “Any ideas of how I can adjust the text in the tables?”:
    Can you clarify this a little bit? In which table do you want to style which text how?

    Regards,
    Tobias
