    Hi!
    I am trying a different table. I LOVE tablepress but my polls wont work in it.
    I installed easytable but I am getting this message:
    “Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to TablePress_Frontend_Controller::shortcode_table() must be an array, string given in /home/fraber16/databasedog.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/controllers/controller-frontend.php on line 320”

    tablepress is mentioned in this error. What should I do?

    Thanks!
    Frankie

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this is that both TablePress and EasyTable use the same [table] Shortcode. That has to lead to a conflict, obviously.
    If you want to use both plugins on the same site, you will have to change the Shortcode for one of the plugins.
    For TablePress, you can do that with this TablePress Extension: https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-shortcode/

    Hi.
    Can I add the extension directly to my plug-ins on WP?
    I typed in the name and got nothing.
    I dont know how to add this with by download.

    Hi.
    I got the new extension in there.
    How do I find tablepress in my PHP?
    Thanks!

    Hi,

    yes, you should download the Extension’s ZIP file, then unzip it.
    Then, edit the PHP file that was extracted in a text editor and change the Shortcode to what you want (maybe something like tp-table).
    After that, upload the folder with the PHP file to your server, via FTP, into the “plugins” directory.
    The last step will be to activate the new plugin in your WordPress Dashboard.

    Hi. I still cant find the PHP file. It should be under “appearance” and then “editor” on WP, right?

    It is already activated in the dashboard

    ummmm, and now all the tables are missing. The shortcode appears on the page when editing, but does not show up when I visit the site.

    Hi,

    no, as it’s a plugin, you will find it under “Plugins” -> “Editor”.
    Then, edit the PHP code there, to the desired value of the Shortcode.
    All TablePress Shortcodes (formerly [table]) will have to be adjusted then.
    After that, the EasyTable plugin can use the [table] Shortcode.

    Tobias
