 * Hi,
 * We installed TablePress and it works perfectly. We’re running version 1.2 now.
 * I tried to update TablePress. But for some reason the update goes wrong. It doesn’t
   want to delete the old version. What to do?
    Do I delete the old version and 
   install the new version manually?
 * Thanks for your reply.
 * Jonna

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not sure what’s wrong here, but my assumption is that some of the file permissions
   on the server are somehow wrong, so that the automatic update fails.
    The best
   way to proceed should indeed be to update the plugin manually, via FTP. Just 
   delete the “tablepress” folder on the server and replace it with the one from
   a freshly downloaded plugin ZIP file.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Same error by version 1.3 copying the new files did it.

 * Hi,
 * that could indicate that something with the automatic update went wrong. What
   error message did you get?
