Bugs and odd choices during development

  • Hey guys

    Before giving this plugin 1 star I want to be fair and give you the chance to fix things or prove me wrong. So here are the problems I had with the plugin.

    1. Some text fields cannot be edited after the table is saved and the page refreshed. This forces me to delete them and add new text fields with the edited content.
    2. The star icons take incredible amount of space (paddings), which is even stranger considering the fact, that it cannot be changed without the use of CSS.
    3. There is no way to set the number of stars back to 0 after even 1 star has been clicked. This forces me to delete the stars module and create add it again.
    4. Plugin’s CSS loads correctly on Opera but doesn’t load at all in Chrome (nowhere in HTML). I had to paste the HTML of the CSS stylesheet directly via a wp_footer hook, so that it would show up.
    5. When an option “disable CSS” is enabled, the CSS is still enabled, but the whole table becomes impossible to edit with CSS. I noticed that in this case the whole table is generated and loaded using shadow DOM which would explain that, but why oh why did you think this is a good idea? Option “disable CSS” means “DISABLE CSS” and not, “prevent user styles to affect the table”.

    Hi @chrisplaneta,

    Sorry for the delay to get back to you. I would still like to address the issues.

    1. In most cases, this happens if the table HTML gets corrupted somehow. One possible issue find out was browser extensions sometimes corrupting the HTML. If possible, please test the builder in incognito tab without the extensions to see if the issue still persists. In that case, we will look further into the issue.

    2. Is it on the builder side? or on the frontend side? If it’s happening on the frontend, it could be due style being overwritten by theme or other plugin. In these cases, we have the option “Disable Theme CSS for Table”. This prevent the outside CSS from changing styles for the table.

    3. We kind of hadn’t thought of the use case of 0 in the star rating, but this can be fixed very easily. I will add it to our to-do list, so that 0 can be set as a value too.

    4. That shouldn’t happen at all. This seems like a bug. The tables won’t function at all without the files being loaded. Are you using any plugin that alters how the CSS, JS files are loaded? That’s one possibility of CSS not loading.

    5. In this case, it depends how you are adding the custom CSS for the table. Are you using the Styles panel in the builder under Settings tab? Or the Custom CSS in the WP Table Builder Settings panel? If you are using those, then your custom CSS won’t be disabled/blocked to affect the table.

    I hope this answers some of your questions. I apologize for the delay with this. My subscription for the support forum didn’t work and I did not get notified about your post. I got it today after directly visiting the threads.

    If you are still using the plugin, I would love the opportunity to fix these issues for you.

    Kind regards.
