Title: Tax table not saving Last modified: July 24, 2020 --- # Tax table not saving * Resolved [figure2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figure2/) * (@figure2) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tax-table-not-saving/) * Hello, I would prefer not to share the URL to the website I am developing as my client does not want their competition to know they are working on a new website. * The problem is that when I create a row for a tax rate, the entire row disappears as soon as I save it. * Here is what I have tried so far: - deactivated all plugins – **didn’t work** - checked to be sure that all the Woocommerce tax tables were present in the database. They are: [](https://i0.wp.com/www.markhannondesign.com/clientJobs/woo_tax_tables.jpg?ssl=1) - deleted the woocommerce_tax_rate_locations table and tried again – **didn’t work and the table was not recreated in the DB** - deactivated and reactivated Woocommerce and tried again – **didn’t work** * At this point, what other steps do you recommend?

If not, can you try that as well to rule out any theme conflicts? * When attempting to save the tax rate, did you spot any errors in the dev console? Also, what’s the [WP Memory Limit](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/) set to? * Thread Starter [figure2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figure2/) * (@figure2) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tax-table-not-saving/#post-13175540) * I switched to the Twenty Twenty theme and boosted the memory limit to 256 and my tax table still won’t save. * Something I didn’t mention above is that this website is being developed on a staging server. There is an SSL certificate in place. * Thread Starter [figure2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figure2/) * (@figure2) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tax-table-not-saving/#post-13182561) * I did download, install and activate the Storefront theme. The tax table still won’t save. * Thread Starter [figure2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figure2/) * (@figure2) * [5 years, 9 months

If so, could you post a screenshot of that error? You can use [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/) to send screenshots here. You’ll just drag and drop the image into the window, and it will generate a URL to paste here. * Last, sometimes firewalls or security settings can cause data not to save like this.

When I try to manually insert a row on the standard tax rates, it doesn’t save. The tables are in the database (viewing with PHPmyadmin) but no data is being written there. I created a clean install of wordpress on my server with the storefront theme and a clean install of woocommerce. No other plugins installed except for what comes with the default wp 5.5.1 installation( downloaded fresh). PHP max input vars are 2080, memory limit is 500M, max input time is 120, max execution time is 180. SoapClient is not installed, but woo says that is only required for certain gateway plugins, I plan on getting that installed later. * Here is a screen shot of the chrome console with LogXMLHttpRequests on: * [https://snipboard.io/jWiLl7.jpg](https://snipboard.io/jWiLl7.jpg) * Thread Starter [figure2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figure2/) * (@figure2) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tax-table-not-saving/#post-13383428) * rekrapt, this problem is bigger than the Woocommerce mods realize (or will admit to).

Thanks for those links. Funny that this is happening with a clean WP installation and nothing but the WooCommerce plugin. That pretty much rules out the notion that some other plugin is causing this problem. And, I can’t imagine what a theme would have to do with saving tax tables in the back-end. Just doesn’t make any sense to me. * Plugin Support [Damianne P (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drwpcom/) * (@drwpcom) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tax-table-not-saving/#post-13385648) * Hi [@rekrapt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rekrapt/) and [@figure2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figure2/). It definitely sounds like something is interfering with either the tables being created or with your store pulling data from the tables. I recommend you reinstall WooCommerce by FTP. Deactivate WooCommerce temporarily. Then you can download the zip file, unzip it and then overwrite the existing files on your server by FTP. Then activate WooCommerce and go to WooCommerce > Status > Tools to verify the database. * I recommend that you try this on a staging site first to see if it helps. Please let me know how it goes. * Plugin Support [Damianne P (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drwpcom/) * (@drwpcom) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tax-table-not-saving/#post-13424317) * Hi [@rekrapt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rekrapt/) and [@figure2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figure2/).
