 * I’ve been using TablePress’s import and automatic import feature for a while 
   and all of a sudden it stopped working.
 * I haven’t changed anything in a while so I’m not sure what I did.
 * The automatic import isn’t happening anymore.
 * Nearly any button I press on the Import page takes me to a 404 link and the following
   url: /wp-admin/admin-post.php
 * I’ve disabled plugins and tested again with no joy.
 * Let me know what I can do.
 * Thanks for all you do.

 * I just disabled the TablePress Extension: Table Auto Update and ran a manual 
   import, and it worked fine.
 * There must be something wrong with that premium extension…?

 * I deleted the extension, re-downloaded it, and re-installed it. Still no joy.
   🙁

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * If the automatic import doesn’t work, this usually indicates that the “WP_Cron”
   functionality is not being loaded.
    This is usually done when a visitor comes
   to the site, but if you are using a caching plugins or just don’t have regular
   visitors, this is not done for technical reasons.
 * Could this be the case on your site?
 * If not, I can offer to take a direct look at this on your site. For that, please
   send me an email with details to a temporary admin account (my address is in 
   the main plugin file “tablepress.php”).
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Tobias,
 * It’s not that the auto import isn’t working, the actual page appears to be broken.
   So it’s not a cron issue.
 * If I click on any button inside the import screen (when the auto updater) is 
   installed, it causes a 404 error.
 * You haven’t experienced this before?
 * Does the link I referenced make any sense?
    It tries to open /wp-admin/admin-
   post.php

 * Hi,
 * ok, thanks for the clarification.
 * Yes, that URL (/wp-admin/admin-post.php) is correct, so I’m not sure what’s wrong
   here. Does this file exist on the server? Are there maybe security measures active
   on the server, that could prevent access to that file?

    Tobias

 * I reinstalled the Auto Import Extension. I’ll reinstall the TablePress extension
   and see if that fixes the issue.
 * I’ll also disable some plugins and see if that fixes anything.

 * Hi,
 * re-installing the TablePress Extension will not help here.
    The missing file (/
   wp-admin/admin-post.php) is a WordPress core file, that should always be present.
 * And yes, disabling other plugins is also a good idea to further investigate this.
   
   Also, I suggest to take a look into the server error logs, to see if there are
   PHP errors reported.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
