Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
Unless they used the “Uninstall TablePress” button on the “Plugin Options” screen, the data should still be there.
The data is stored in the database, so deleting just the files won’t delete the tables.
Re-installing TablePress should bring everything back. To have a backup, you could then export all the tables to e.g. the CSV format (which can easily be opened e.g. in Excel) or to the JSON format (which is a backup that also includes the settings/options for each table).
Regards,
Tobias
Thank you so much for your prompt response. I’ll re-install Table Press and hope that the data is still there. Thank You.
Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂
Best wishes,
Tobias
I have tried to install tablepress through wordpress but it failed as it said the destination folder already exists. How do I get round that issue. Could it be that the plugin is actually there but not showing in my admin panel?
Hi,
yes, that could indeed be a possibility then.
Can you log in via FTP and delete the existing folder before re-installing it?
Regards,
Tobias
Yes I can do that. I’ll let you know what happens. Many thanks.
Yes Yes Yes. That worked and the tables have reappeared! I’ll take a back up now just in case! Thanks for your help!
Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
Best wishes,
Tobias
P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
