 * Hi Tobias,
 * just done your update to Tablepress.
 * Table press is disabled now, no tables tab shows in my desktop control panel.
   It says i need a newer version of worpress but this is a one week old install
   of Worpress 4, and appears to be up to date.
    **THE tables are now disabled in
   the website , YIKES!**
 * **Message as follows**
 * Attention: The installed version of WordPress is too old for the TablePress plugin!
   TablePress requires an up-to-date version! Please update your WordPress installation!
 * I am using the responsive Tisson Theme
 * **Install information below**
 * Version: 1.5.1
    Author: Tobias Bäthge Last Updated: 9 hours ago Requires WordPress
   Version: 4.0 or higher Compatible up to: 4.0
 * **Any ideas much appreciated.**
 * Kind Regards,
    Maxwell Millowick Australia

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * My assumption here is (if you really are on WordPress 4.0), that something (another
   plugin or your theme) is hiding the WordPress version, so that TablePress can
   not properly check it.
 * Could you therefore please try again after temporarily deactivating all other
   plugins and after switching to a WordPress default theme like TwentyFourteen?
 * If that does not help, I’d like to take a direct 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!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * I am having the same problem, tablepress worked fine yesterday, but now today
   I am getting the same error message. I am using WordPress 4.0 and betheme responsive
   theme. No new plugins have been added or removed or updated, I tried your ideas
   above and still no joy.
    I have added you as a new user so that you might be 
   able to have a look.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Andy,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * You are indeed affected by the same problem here. Your theme (also from the Muffin
   Group) contains a bug that messes up the WordPress version number. For technical
   details, please see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-access-tablepress-all-tables-page?replies=13#post-6203019](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-access-tablepress-all-tables-page?replies=13#post-6203019)
 * I fixed this on your site now by installing an updated version of TablePress,
   that contains some hardening against this bug in your theme. You can use TablePress
   again now 🙂

    Tobias

 * I will just add my 10 cents worth to this thread. You need all plugins and WordPress
   to be on the current versions. I had one of my sites hacked with Trojans because
   some of the plugins were older. The result is the site is completely ruined and
   I had to take it down. Even the not active theme had the malware injected into
   them.
 * cheers

 * Hi Maxwell,
 * yep, totally right. One should always keep things up-to-date. This is not just
   in one’s own interest, but also in the interest of all site visitors.
