[Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Table shows different data to logged in users

  • Hi

    I’ve another question for you. I’ve embedded a table in a sidebar widget and am scraping data for the table contents from another site using wp-scraper (plugin).

    For some strange reason the table only updates to the correct info if a user logs in, otherwise it stays the way it was when I saved the table originally. The scraped data changes once a day.

    If I save the table again (without making any changes) it refreshes the data to the correct scraped info. But it stays this way the next day unless I resave the table or log in as a user, which seems to refresh the table as well. I’ve asked the wp-scraper author if it is a problem with the plugin and he says its not. Can you shed any light on the situation?

    My site is https://www.outdoorcommunity.ie and I’m scraping some data from https://www.liffeyreleases.com into a table on the lower right of the front page on the site.

    I think this plugin is great and I intend to make a donation if you can resolve this for me.

    Thanks

    Vinny

    Hi Vinny,

    thanks for your question.

    This is the result of the Table Caching feature. This is a nice thing for tables that only get edited manually (because it reduces the server load), but it can cause troubles for tables that are filled dynamically (like in your case).

    The solution is to simply deactivate the caching by unchecking the “Cache Table Output” checkbox on the “Edit” screen of the table.

    Regards,
    Tobias
