Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
I’m not 100% sure, but my assumption is that it plays a role that the table is shown in that collapsable/expandable section. This is relevant especially if the JavaScript features for a table are used.
Does this issue happen if the table is directly in the main page content? Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
Regards,
Tobias
Hi Tobias,
it also occurs when we place it in a text element.
Please this screenshot (dropbox link)
we tested several options. As you see on top is a table made with your plugin with text wider than de element.

we don’t have a site with the issue anymore because we downgraded all divi installations to 4 versions back and we are waiting with divi updates for now…
Hi,
thanks! It looks like the cell padding (inner white space) is bigger in the TablePress table.
I can only assume that Divi has increased this. TablePress only sets a small one.
You could maybe try adding this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
.tablepress td {
padding: 4px !important;
}

Tobias
Thanks, this works perfect.
All sites normal again.
Bit sloppy by Divi I think…
Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
Best wishes,
Tobias
P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
We are having a new problem with DIVI as well.
We have used your tablepress plugin for years with no issues with DIVI
but recently whenever we attempt to edit the page with tables on it…
the DIVI editor crashes.
The page displays fine…but we can no longer edit it.
Can you help us solve this.
The page with issues is:
https://www.davidstentdc.org/davids_tent_50_state_signup/
When we remove the tables from a clone of the page…
the page works fine.
here is from wordpress…`Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.
In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, TablePress.
First, visit your website (https://www.davidstentdc.org/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (https://www.davidstentdc.org/wp-admin/admin-post.php) and check for any visible issues.
Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.
If your site appears broken and you can’t access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special “recovery mode”. This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.

To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don’t worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires.
When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
WordPress version 5.8
Current theme: Divi (version 4.10.4)
Current plugin: TablePress (version 1.14)
PHP version 7.4.10

Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
From the error message that’s printed near the bottom, it appears that the ctype_space() function is missing in your version of PHP.
Could you maybe try switching to a different version of PHP (like the current version PHP 8) on the server (there might be a setting for this in the configuration section that your webhost offers, e.g. a software called cPanel). Alternatively, could you maybe reach out to the web host’s support team and ask them to check if the “ctype” extension is compiled into the PHP version on the server? According to https://www.php.net/manual/en/ctype.installation.php it’s included by default, but it might have been turned off manually.
Regards,
Tobias
