 * The plugin messed up the whole site :(, I dezactivated it and is the same…after
   that I deleted it and nothing…the problem is when I installed the plugin and 
   crated a new table too see all the features…a major problem occured and I don’t
   know what to do because I didn’t build the site :(…on the first page should be
   each post from every category (there are 4 categories of posts to be published)…
   and now instead showing one post from each category it shows all the posts from
   all 4 categories on the first page :(, and in one particular category are 3 posts
   and it shows one post on each page instead all 3 posts on a single page, please
   help

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble!
 * Now, I’m very very sure that this is not caused by TablePress! TablePress does
   not influence the showing of post/pages/categories in any way!
    What you describe
   sounds much more like a problem with your theme or even more likely with the 
   custom code that you use to load those first posts per category! The reason for
   that is that your problem persists after deactivating TablePress. As no code 
   of TablePress is executed in that case, there is no chance for TablePress to 
   change anything in that or to be involved with this.
 * If you reactivate TablePress and delete all tables, and then deactivate TablePress
   again, there will be nothing left from TablePress, except two entries in the 
   wp_options table. These can not cause the problem that you describe.
 * To fix this, it is probably the best idea to use a backup of your site that does
   not contain the modifications that lead to this. Now, again, I’m very sure that
   TablePress has nothing to do with this.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * thank for your answer, no other change was made to the system before installing
   the plugin and no one else has acces to the site admin area,and it worked perfect,
   I have to mention that the version of WP is 3.4.2., the latest before 3.5, I 
   deleted the TP, in the first place I dezactivated and then after nothing good
   happened I deteled it so I can’t delete the table, hmm the backup is quite old…:(,
   I am pretty sure that TP affected somehow the site, I don’t know much about it
   but but no other interaction was with the admin of the site, maybe is interacting
   somehow with the theme as you said…what option we have?

 * Hi Catalin,
 * again, I don’t think that this was caused by TablePress. But to be really sure
   that nothing is left behind from TablePress, please re-install TablePress, delete
   all tables, and then deactivate and delete TablePress again.
    If the problem 
   persists after that, we know that the real source of the issue is something else,
   because TablePress does not contain any code or make any modifications that could
   cause this directly. If the problem disappears after this procedure, we know 
   that the cause for this was the table that was still saved as a “Custom Post 
   Type” in the WP database. That then means that the code that you use to show 
   only those first posts per category and so on is written badly, as it takes all
   Custom Post Types into account.

 * Hello Tobias,
 * thank you for your answers, the code used is that from the theme, I didn’t tried
   to place another post since then, and also I didn’t tried what you said to install
   again the plugin and to remove the table if it was created one, but I am pretty
   sure that the problem was caused by the plugin, I managed to fix the posts on
   the main page, but soon I will need functional tables in furhture posts, should
   I install it again?are you sure that will not mess anything else the beta version
   of tablepress?
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * again, I don’t think that TablePress caused this.
    Please try what I suggested
   above, with reinstalling the plugin and then deleting all tables.
 * How exactly did you fix it on the main page?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * thanks for that info. That setting makes much for sense than TablePress causing
   this.
 * So are your issues with TablePress now fixed or do you still have problems with
   the plugin?
 * Regards,
    Tobias
