Using plugin shortcodes within Tablepress

    Hello,

    I’m using a plugin called “Tippy” within the cells on my tablepress. For some reason, every few hours, the plugin stops working and I have to go to tablepress and re-save my table. Do you know why this would be happening?

    Please help! I’ve had to refresh my table 5 times a day to keep it running.

    Thank you,
    -Jordan

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    This sounds as if the TablePress table output caching is not working nicely with the JS loading process of Tippy. To fix this, please extend your table’s Shortcode to

    [table id=123 cache_table_output=false /]

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Today, I successfully used the combination of TablePress plugin version 1.1.1, Tippy plugin version 6.1.1 and WordPress 3.6.1 and the above fix. I successfully tested it with the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Thank you very much for the fix! I didn’t have this issue when using WP-Table-Reloaded plugin, so am thankful that you have a fix for TablePress.

    Here is how the table now looks with TablePress and Tippy. Just hover-over any link in column one of either of the two tables on this Compare page. It makes a good demo of the combination of TablePress and Tippy.

    Another symptom of this issue is that TablePress and Tippy render just fine when logged-in as administrator, but the cells that have Tippy shortcodes in them, did not render (just showed as blank cells) when viewed as a normal visitor to your site. Originally, I didn’t notice the issue since I did all my testing using Visit Site while logged into the site. I didn’t notice the issue until I logged out of the site.

    By the way, in looking for a solution, when I did a search for Tippy within:

    https://tablepress.org/support/

    I got Nothing Found. So, I would suggest that you add an entry in your support page that includes the above fix when using Tippy shortcodes. I had to do a Google search to find your, above, fix, since I couldn’t find it on your support page. This might help other people find the solution quicker.

    Thanks, again, for an awesome plugin.

    Hi,

    good to hear that this is working now with that adjusted parameter. The symptom that this worked fine when being logged-in confirms this, as logged-in users don’t use the cache.

    And thanks for the suggestion about adding this to the FAQ on the TablePress website! I’ll put that in when I do the next round of updates on that.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
