    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Most likele, the reason for this is the usage of HTML in the table in row 18. There’s an HTML tag

    <title>

    there, which seems to mess up the HTML parsing in the browser. Just escape that HTML as
    &lt;title&gt;
    and everything should be fine.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    thank you! that fixed the issue. Not only did that fix the issue but I’ve encountered this problem before and that fixed the issue in another wordpress plugin I’m using. This is interesting. Not sure why the greater than and less than symbols cause an error and we have to use html code entities but it fixes the issue.

    Hi,

    good to hear that this fixed it! ??

    Well, the reason is simple: TablePress (and probably that other plugins as well), will leave that code untouched, and just print it to the page. The browser however interprets this as an HTML tag (indicated by the greater than and less than symbols). Now, the <title> tag can never appear in a table, but only in the page head, and therefore results in such an error.
    Thus, encoding the symbols as entities is necessary. This has to be done manually, as an automatic replacement by TablePress would mean that no HTML code be used in table cells, which is not an option, of course.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
