    Hi. I’ve been using Table Press to create an online catalog of art works. There are 53 of them. By yesterday I had put in 16 images in rows of four, with captions and links, and everything was going fine. Then today I put in 31 more, and I clicked “Save” every single time I made any change. I’m absolutely positive I did that.

    Completely out of the blue, as I was uploading another image, I looked at the table and every single image I put in today had vanished. They were all still in the media library, but not in the table. I looked at the table in preview, and I looked at the page containing the table ID. Today’s images were just not there. Hours of work have inexplicably disappeared. Now I have to do today’s work all over again. It’s terrible. Plus, I’m afraid it’ll be an exercise in futility because this might happen again. This catalog is connected to an art show opening this Wednesday and I absolutely have to finish it.

    Can anyone suggest how and why this happened, and how I can prevent it from happening again? Thanks for any input.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I’m not sure that I understand. When I check https://searts.org/wp/2018-art-rocks-printable-catalog/ the table is full of images.

    Regards,

    I’m sorry; the page shows all the images, but the table, in Table Press, does not. Here’s a link to it: https://searts.org/wp/wp-admin/admin.php?page=tablepress&action=edit&table_id=8

    I put all the missing images back in and they disappeared again. I had 14 rows, 13 with four images each, and one with one image, and then there were only ten, making it impossible for me to edit the last 5 rows.

    And guess what — I just looked at the table again and all the rows and images are back. This is driving me crazy. Please help.

    P.S. Is it possible to add just one cell to the end of a row? I’d rather have five images in the last row and four in all the others. And is it possible to change the font size of the captions using the Advanced Editor?

    Hi,

    that link is to the “Edit” screen, which I can’t access, as I’m not logged-in on your site.

    When you say “images are missing”, where exactly is this? Note that you will not see the actual images on the “Edit” screen, but only the HTML code for them.

    Adding just one cell at the end of a row is not possible, as a table always needs a rectangular grid structure.

    As the captions are influenced by theme styling, we will need CSS to adjust the font there. For example, add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

    .tablepress .wp-caption .wp-caption-text {
        font-size: 14px;
        color: #000000;
    }

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi, Tobias. It’s okay. The images all came back yesterday and they’re still there today. Thank you for your help and for the advice about CSS.

    Best,

    Hi, just one more thing. It’s not possible to use that CSS code to change the font of an already-existing table, is it? I just changed the font from 14 to 12 and the table I’ve been creating looks the same. Sorry if this is a silly question.

    Hi Clare,

    that’s no problem! You can use CSS code on any table, at any time, regardless of when it was created.

    You probably don’t see a change here because 12px already was the font size before (without the CSS).

    Regards,

    Actually it was set to 14 and I changed it to 12. But maybe the text looks about the same because that’s not a big change.

    Hi,

    yes, that’s likely.

    Best wishes,
