Title: Auto Import Malfunction Last modified: May 31, 2022 --- # Auto Import Malfunction * Resolved [stamatisstamatiou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stamatisstamatiou/) * (@stamatisstamatiou) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/) * Hi, * Every time the Auto Import updates the data, the table is showing empty cells( the number of records is correct). * When this happens, I have to go to “Edit Table” section and just apply “Save Changes” (without changing anything) and then the data are visible again. * Any ideas how to resolve this issue? * Thank you. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fauto-import-malfunction%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15694651) * Hi, * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble. * That sounds really strange. What is the content of the cells? Something special like HTML code? Right now, I only see the empty cells when going to your link. Can you maybe post the URL to the import source? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [stamatisstamatiou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stamatisstamatiou/) * (@stamatisstamatiou) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15694782) * I disabled the auto update and now you can see the data of the table. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15694813) * Hi, * ok, nothing special there… Can you maybe try turning off the TablePress output caching to rule out interference from that? For that, just use this extended Shortcode to show the table on this page: * ``` [table id=4 cache_table_output=false /] ``` * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [stamatisstamatiou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stamatisstamatiou/) * (@stamatisstamatiou) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15695271) * I replaced the shortcode but after I enabled Auto Update, the table is empty again. What the button “Save Changes” triggers? * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15695669) * Hi, * that’s really strange then. Do you see the data correctly on the “Edit” screen, or is that also showing only empty cells? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [stamatisstamatiou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stamatisstamatiou/) * (@stamatisstamatiou) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15695833) * On the ‘edit’ screen, I can see the data corectly. Very strange indeed. If I just click on ‘save changes’ in this screen, the data will be visible in the page. (until the next auto update) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15695851) * Hi, * the auto update does not modify the data that is shown on the frontend, and if everything is correct on the “Edit” screen, that’s the data that should be used, especially when caching is turned off. Can you maybe post a screenshot of the Shortcode as it’s shown on the page? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [stamatisstamatiou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stamatisstamatiou/) * (@stamatisstamatiou) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15697683) * This is the shortcode that I’m using: [https://ibb.co/B4WjBQt](https://ibb.co/B4WjBQt) * This is the Import Screen: [https://ibb.co/J25VZ2s](https://ibb.co/J25VZ2s) * This is the Edit Screen: [https://ibb.co/H4vnSng](https://ibb.co/H4vnSng) [https://ibb.co/d7DZvDK](https://ibb.co/d7DZvDK) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15697882) * Hi, * thanks for that! I can’t see anything wrong there… My guess is that something on your site is maybe interfering. Can you therefore please try again after temporarily deactivating all other plugins (except for TablePress and the Extension) and after switching to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty? That way, we can find what’s causing this. * Regards, Tobias * [Jeff Cohan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdcohan/) * (@jdcohan) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15720785) * Hmmm… What is and where can I find _auto-import_? * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15722051) * Hi Jeff, * this is about the TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-auto-import/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-auto-import/) * Regards, Tobias Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Auto Import Malfunction’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/icon.svg?rev=3192944) * [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) * 11 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * Last activity: [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-import-malfunction/#post-15722051) * Status: resolved
