 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This sounds as if some of the JavaScript is not being loaded or interfered with.
   
   Does this happen with all plugins (except TablePress) deactivated as well? Can
   you also test in a different browser, please, to rule out any weirdnesses there?
   Thanks!

    Tobias

 * hi Tobias,
 * I have deactivated the plugins (except tablepress ) but seems like the issue 
   is still there. so right now I am kind of clueless
 * it was working fine before since the site is launched as it’s been installed 
   for close to a year. I think this just happened recently.

 * Hi,
 * ok, in that case it might be a good idea to take a look at this on your site.
   Could you therefore please create a temporary admin account for me and send me
   the details via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)?
   That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!

 * Hi Trent,
 * thanks for the account details! I was able to log in and could reproduce the 
   issue.
 * The reason for this problem seems to be related to the file access rights of 
   the TablePress files on the server. The server is not allowed to read the JavaScript
   files which contain the code for the saving process and therefore nothing happens
   when the “Save changes” button is clicked.
    Fixing this should be easy: Simply
   download TablePress again, extract the ZIP file, log in to your server via FTP,
   delete the TablePress folder there, and upload the one from the ZIP file. That
   should reset the file access rights, so that the server can read them again.

    Tobias

 * actually, let me contact server admin first. perhaps there’s server issue with
   file permission
 * I will keep you posted

 * Hi Trent,
 * I was refering to the .css and .js files in /wp-content/plugins/tablepress/… 
   on the server.
    Yes, the server admin should definitely be able to assist with
   this.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
