Custom CSS disappearing / gone missing

    Hello and thanks for this great plugin.

    We are having an issue at https://www.detective-banque.fr
    We are using a lot of tables with custom CSS added from the plugin options.

    This works well except that we noticed the following:
    After every update to the custom CSS, we verify it was correctly taken into account, and it is always the case.
    There is also only one person in charge of updating CSS.
    But, part of the CSS is disappearing after a while (can be days, weeks, or months). And this, in an anarchic manner and for no apparent reasons.

    Can you please help us troubleshoot this issue?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    That sounds strange, and I can’t think of anything in TablePress that could be causing this. TablePress does never touch your “Custom CSS” again after you save it.
    Now, I do see that you are using a caching plugin that is also caching the TablePress CSS file again. I could imagine that that’s then maybe showing you an old version sometimes. Can you therefore maybe try excluding the TablePress “Custo m CSS” file /wp-content/tablepress-combined.min.css from this caching?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hello Tobias,

    Thank you for your answer.

    We are currently evaluating your solution.

    I was thinking maybe the issue could come from the <textarea name="options[custom_css]">.

    I have experienced problems with the autocomplete="on" attribute where the browser automatically adds content based on a previous state. (the autocomplete attribute is on by default).
    Could this be the case here?

    Hi,

    good question. I would say that it’s possible in theory that autocomplete influences this, but I don’t think it’s likely. Even if the browser would fill that field with some autocomplete content, you will still have to click “Save changes” manually, to apply those changes.
    I’ll however investigate this more, and it can never hurt to be on the safe side, i.e. I’ll check if adding autocomplete="off" makes sense here.

    Regards,
    Tobias
