Tablepress not working with instant articles

Hi,

sorry for the long delay, I was on holidays and could not reply earlier.

Did you paste this code with the “pretty” apostrophes/accents? It’s important to copy it with the normal/upright ones:

add_action( 'init', 'load_tablepress_in_the_admin', 11 ) );
function load_tablepress_in_the_admin() {
  if ( is_admin() ) {
    TablePress::load_controller( 'frontend' );
  }
}

Regards,
Tobias

I must be doing something wrong. I copy/pastes that code exactly as you have it written and it crashed my site. I’m working with support to fix it. Not sure what I did wrong.

This is the entirety of my functions.php file. Can you tell me exactly where to put this code?

Hi,

please remove the ?> at the very end of that file (it’s not necessary and not recommended) and then insert the code there.

That didn’t work either, my site crashed again. Starting to wonder if FB instant articles is worth the headache. When I did what you said and loaded the page, it was just blank. I couldn’t even get back to the backend of wordpress, I had to reload the php file from my cPanel. We use tablepress a lot, and without it the posts will make no sense. Any other ideas?

Hi,

ah, noticed one small typo now: There’s an extra ) in the PHP code. Please change the first line from above to

add_action( 'init', 'load_tablepress_in_the_admin', 11 );

Tobias
