Does this mean I don’t need to use the default do_action('comic-area');?

I’m having the same issue. The error goes away once I remove the widget.

Thanks! That broke some things when I added it to functions.php, so I added it to the custom post type template page instead and it worked.

Hi Tobias,

Yes, I hope this will be useful to others who are trying to do the same thing as me. Being able to use CSV makes it a lot easier to create the tables. And preserving HTML makes it easier to style and present the data.

It might be useful to add the bit about CSV importing to the FAQ or documentation. I looked around for help on that but gave up when nothing turned up. Or perhaps I missed it completely.

Another point to add it that quotation marks need to be escaped too.

So if people who want to output:
<a href=“https://url/“>
will have to use
"<a href=""https://url/"">”

I hope this helps others who come across this post.

Thanks once again, Tobias. I will definitely rate the plugin because this is the best table plugin for WordPress. =)

Hi Tobias,

Thank you so much! It works now! I previously tried to import CSV with HTML but it threw an error, hence the confusion regarding how to import/export CSV with HTML. Now I know I need to had quotation marks to escape the HTML.

Yes, this is definitely going to be very helpful going forward. It is a much safer way to do this without having to muck around with the database. And I can do a simple search and replace across all the CSV files.

Hi Tobias,

Would I be able to re-import via CSV with the HTML?

Hi Tobias,

I don’t think exporting to CSV works because some table contents content HTML. That’s why I have been importing using HTML instead of CSV. Unless there is a way around this that I’m not aware of.

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the quick reply. You just confirmed my fears. I guess I’ll just have to bite the bullet and give it a go.

It’s been 9 months and I’m still stuck with this problem.

Sorry. That’s the wrong link. It works on the blog post page but not on the home page. https://iamjenxi.com/

Hi Bill, thanks for your reply. It seems to be working now. However, the “next page” button doesn’t do anything.

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the quick response! The first option looks a little daunting with my limited knowledge of PHP. The widget looks like a promising solution but I read that anyone with access to it can possibly add malicious code. Since I would have multiple contributors who need to be able to add the table in this way, it is a likely vulnerability that I would rather not risk.

The main obstacle is combining the table template tag with the custom function code.

get_post_meta($post->ID, 'key', true);

tablepress_print_table( array( 'id' => '1', 'use_datatables' => true, 'print_name' => false ) )

Go to the installed plugins page and deactivate the plugin. I’m trying to do that but I’m getting an error.

Ok. It’s done.

Hi Joost, how do I do that?
