Shortcode is not working

Hi Jen,

the text

return 'list';

would have to be changed to

return 'tp-table';

After that, you can embed TablePress tables via the modified Shortcode

[tp-table id=123 /]

with the respective table ID.

Changed, updated, working! My tables are ugly, but I see how to fix that in the FAQs and documentation. I also found the shortcode “table” that the new theme is using, so that explains that (as you said).
I also found the donate button. I don’t know how you find time to answer all these! Thanks!!

Hi Jen,

awesome! Great to hear that this worked! ??

The table looks “ugly”, because there’s a small CSS conflict left. To fix that, please add

.tablepress [class*="column"] + [class*="column"]:last-child {
    float: none;
}

to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress.

And thank you very much for the donation, I really appreciate it!

Best wishes,
Tobias

Tables are looking pretty now. One last question.
Is there a way to EITHER bold the first column in table(s) or to acknowledge the <b>bold</b> tags we have currently in those table cells?

Hi,

yes, that’s possible.
(The <b> should work, actually, but it seems that that has been reset in the CSS somewhere.)
You could make the <b> work by adding this to the “Custom CSS”:

.tablepress b {
  font-weight: bold;
}

The other solution (that doesn’t need any <b> tags), would be to use

.tablepress-id-2 tbody .column-1 {
  font-weight: bold;
}

Hi Tobias,

I’m a new WordPress user and I love your plugin.

Can I make a small suggestion? For people like Jen and myself it was difficult to understand how to use the Change Shortcode extension. The quick help you supplied to Jen made it clear, but could you add it to the documentation page for the plugin extension as well?

I was confused when I first saw the .php file for the plugin extension, since I was looking for the word “table” to change to “tp-table”, since I assumed that since the default short code was “table”, that that would be what I would change. However, as you mentioned to Jen, what I really wanted to change was “list” to “tp-table”, which was not intuitive for me, though that may be because I’m new at this.

Thanks for the great plugin.

Tom

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Yes, those instructions are not really clear I guess. I’ll try to make them easier. Thanks for the feedback!
