 * Hi all,
 * When going to the site, you’re met with a white blank page, nothing shows up.
   Went into recovery mode and saw TablePress had a bunch of errors next to the 
   plugin. When I deactivated Tablepress, the site is back up and running, obviously
   no tablepress, just the shortcodes appear.
 * Here is the error message that appears while activated, this disappears when 
   deactivated:
 * This plugin failed to load properly and is paused during recovery mode.
 * An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 180 of the file /var/www/
   wp-content/plugins/tablepress/classes/class-tablepress.php. Error message: require_once():
   Failed opening required ‘/var/www/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/classes/class-
   wp_option.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/remi/php72/root/usr/share/pear:/opt/remi/
   php72/root/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php’)
 * Any thoughts? Im not so great at getting into root access so please explain in
   detail if possible… thank you all!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffatal-error-3321%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This indicates that some of TablePress’ PHP files are missing, for some reason.
   My suggestion here is to delete TablePress (the `wp-content/plugins/tablepress/`
   folder on the server) and re-install it again from a fresh download.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Perfect – Ill delete the plugin and re-install. I just want to make sure when
   I delete I wont lose all the tables I currently have. Please confirm.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * no worries, as your tables are stored in the database, deleting the plugin files
   poses no risk here.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
