Adaptive tables in categories

Hi, thanks. Where is the content loaded in the category coming from? Is it from the category description field?

Здравей! Виждам, че вие от България! Много приятна страна. Аз знам малко български. Ако позволите, ще продължа и ще упражня малко език))

Да, котигорите съдержа контент в поле описание. Той контент съдържа шорткодове TablePress, примерно така: [table id=2 /]

That is cool. I am not sure if it is allowed here to use any other language though. Also other visitors need to be able to understand.

So the category description field that you use, this is the default one from WordPress or is it added by some plugin or theme? I see from the screenshot that the field has buttons in the editor, which is not normal. I tried putting there a tablepress shortcode and it did not work.

Yes, this is the default field. The Generate Press theme outputs the content. The buttons in the editor were the default.

By default there are no buttons there. On my test site it is just a normal text box and can’t even put in HTML table tags in there.

But if it is the default category description field, try adding this PHP code to your site using the Code Snippets plugin or a similar one. It should make my plugin work on that field too. And tell me if that worked.

if ( function_exists( 'mtr_change_the_tables' ) ) {
    add_filter( 'category_description', 'mtr_change_the_tables', 99999999999 );
}

I added this code to functions.php and it worked. Now the tables in the categories are handled as they should be. Thanks again. I think this feature can now be included in the upcoming update.

OK, thanks for testing. I think I can include that. But I still don’t know how you even made the category description field to work with shortcodes and buttons. I can’t test it without that. Can you show me a list of all the plugins that you have? You can copy the list from the tools – site health – info tab – active plugins at /wp-admin/site-health.php?tab=debug

It has to be from some plugin, or I guess maybe if you have the pro version of generatepress, since with the free one I don’t see that.

That’s right, I have the pro version of this topic. But that has nothing to do with it. I just have these fields in the headings by default in any theme. The standard Twenty Twenty-Three theme also has these fields. In older versions of WordPress did not have this, but starting from some version there was a full-fledged editor and fields.

Most likely it’s a template that is capable of displaying content in a category, so it adds features s editor. You should change your theme and try opening the category editor again.

It is released. Thanks for the information and for testing. By the way I found that the rankmath plugin changes the category description field.
Regards.

Thanks for the plugin update!
I turned off Runk Match and took this screenshot. The extra fields have been removed, but the editor hasn’t changed. I think the reason for the changed editor is exactly in the template.

No problem. You may have multiple things that change that field I guess. But Rank Math is one of them. As soon as I activate it the field gets buttons and they are gone if I deactivate it.

I am marking this topic resolved by the way.
