 * I have set automatic import to 1 day and given the proper XLSX links.
    But don’t
   see the updates happening even after few days also. But I can import the same
   link and see the updated file. Only thing automatic import is not working.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Unfortunately, I don’t really have an idea what might be causing this.
 * The question here is: Why are cron jobs not executed on your site? That’s what
   you’ll have to find out. Sometimes it might be enough to deactivate and re-activate
   the Extension and to set the settings again and save them.
    Also, you will need
   to make sure that there are people visiting your site, i.e. this will for example
   not work on a private or test site without visitors.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Looks like there are NO cron jobs running.
    Will investigate and report back.
   Thanks for the reply.

 * Hi,
 * yes, that would be an explanation then. Note that these are not regular server
   cron jobs, but that we are talking about the WP_Cron API (those can be triggered
   with server cron jobs, however).
    To investigate those, I suggest to play with
   e.g. the Cron Manager in the “Core Control” plugin from [https://wordpress.org/plugins/core-control/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/core-control/).

 * Hi!
    Sorry for my late reply! I have 3 tables for which I have AUTOUPDATE ON!
   Surprisingly, for 1 table AUTO UPDATE does work! This I have observed for the
   2 weeks. For one more table, NO Updates till now so not a problem. For the last
   table, even through there are updates on daily basis, table doesn’t get update!
   Might be some strange conflict! Not able to know the reason!

 * One more interesting fact is that,
    If I take the same link mentioned in the 
   AUTO UPDATE configuration and do IMPORT and REPLACE the existing TABLE, It Works!
   So there is NO error in the LINK also!

 * Hi,
 * this could be an issue with the PHP Memory Limit then. Please try increasing 
   that (the `WP_MEMORY_LIMIT` constant in the wp-config.php file) to something 
   high like `512M`, with the help of [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP)

 * Hi,
 * hmm, ok. That’s strange then…
    Can you maybe turn on `WP_DEBUG_LOG` in the wp-
   config.php? Maybe that will give us some information after a while, in the /wp-
   content/debug.php log file.

 * Luckily DEBUG was on for the last 2 days and I could see the following erros 
   w.r.t tablepress :
    [21-Oct-2014 13:54:06 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member
   function get() on a non-object in /***/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/classes/

 * Might be of some help?

 * Hi,
 * that’s weird, I’m not sure where those errors are coming from. Just to be sure,
   can you re-install the latest version of the Extension from [http://tablepress.org/extensions/table-auto-import/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/table-auto-import/)
   and then also the TablePress 1.5-beta version from [http://tablepress.org/upcoming-tablepress-1-5/](http://tablepress.org/upcoming-tablepress-1-5/)?
   Maybe that helps fix that error already.

 * I did rename the existing 2 plugins and copied the new tablepress dev version
   and auto import plugin over ftp.
    Will check & report back in a day or two. Thanks
   for all the help.
