Disable automatic conversion

    Hey, due to the law we cannot make the links clickable. How to avoid that? They come from a excel import with a function. So there is no <a href tag. We already tried to add a “<a href=”#”” but it is ignored.

    I tried it with this shortcode:

    [table id=1 datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=1,3 datatables_columnfilter=true datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=80 automatic_url_conversion=false hide_columns=”3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22″ row_order= sort_order=”asc” /]

    With or without the extension tablepress-automatic-url-conversion installed and activated and with and without the parameter the links are always clickable.

    Any ideas?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi!

    Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!

    Can you clarity which links you mean here? The links in this table from your page (the website below the company name in the first column) is not clickable for me?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    P.S.: And out of interest (as I’m also from Germany): What law is preventing you from making links clickable? I have never heard of something like that before…

    I did not hear that before too… German university..

    In the meantime I found the problem. When importing the excel-file, TablePress imports the tags for <a href etc. on the URLs, even they are not marked with a link in the excel file.

    I now changed the formula so the tags will be removed. Now it works again. So it seems, the links did not come from tablepress, but were imported…

    Hi,

    Thanks for the clarification! Somehow, these URLs in Excel must have been links in Excel, as that’s the only way TablePress would be importing them as link HTML code. But great to hear that you could solve this by changing the formula!
    Another idea might be to save the table to a CSV file in Excel and then import that into TablePress. This would also only import the visible text.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
