Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
The reason for this is most likely that something went wrong with registering the access rights/capabilities in the WordPress user role system. This sometimes happens if a site uses a plugin for role or user management.
If possible, I’d like to take a direct look at this on your site. Could you therefore please create a temporary admin account for me and send me the details via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!
Regards,
Tobias
Thanks for the response! I just sent you an invite to be an administrator.
Hey Tobias, did you get the admin invitation to my site?
Hi,
yes, I’ve received your email. I’m on the road right now for a business trip, but I should find the time to take a look later today.
Regards,
Tobias
Hi,
ok, I just had the chance to take a look. As it seems, it really only was an issue with the capabilities. I restored them now, so that you can now see TablePress in the admin menu 🙂

Tobias
Thank you Tobias! Can you tell me how you did that so that I can do it on my other sites? I have a few that have the same issue.
Hi,
sure: To reset the capabilities, we’ll basically have to make TablePress think that it was re-installed.
To do that, go to http://your-site.com/wp-admin/options.php in the browser. You should then see the list of “WordPress Options” with input fields to change them. (This is a powerful screen in WordPress, so be careful.)
Scroll down to the “tablepress_plugin_options” option. In that text field (be very careful), change the number after “plugin_options_db_version” to a 0 (it should be 23 right now, I think). Then save the changes.
That will reset some stuff inside TablePress internally and should also re-add the capabilities, so that you can then see the TablePress entry in the admin menu.
Regards,
Tobias
Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
Best wishes,
Tobias
P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
