Existing Tables Not Showing

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

That sounds strange. I assume that the storage place for the relationship between table ID and internal post ID got somehow damaged.

Can you elaborate what “minus the content” in your statement above exactly means? Is the content still there or not?

For further insight, I suggest to also take a look at the TablePress Debug Extension from https://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-debug.zip that can help investigating the internal table data (via a “Debug” tab in TablePress and a new “TP Tables” entry in the admin menu).

Thank you, I was able to get the table showing again by altering the JSON in “tablepress_tables-Option (JSON)” field.

Hi,

yes, that’s what I meant. Great to hear that everything is working again! ??

Best wishes,
Tobias

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

I have the same problem like newbreed65. What do I have to do in the debug-mode to show my table again? I see the TP Tables entry, but I don’t know what to do with it.

Thank you.

Hi Krissie,

just to confirm, you do see the TP Tables entry, but no entry for that table on the “All Tables” screen of TablePress?

You will basically have to recreate a relationship between a table ID and the post ID on the “Debug” tab that the Extension adds to TablePress.

Hi Tobias,

I see five entries in “TP Tables” and I see five entries on the “all tables” screen. The IDs are correct, but the tables are not shown on the pages. What can I do on the debug-page to show my tables?

Hi Krissie,

this sounds like a different issue then. Can you please post a link to the page with a table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

The page is not yet official, so I would prefer not to post the link here. Is it possible to send a PN to you, so you can take a look at the page?

Yes, it seems to be a different problem than the first one. I created a new table and implemented it into an existing page. The table is not shown. I took a look at the code of the page. The first <table id=8> is there but not more. So I deactivated all plugins and reactived them one by one. The “culprit” is the plugin “Custom Content Shortcode”. If it is activated, Tablepress only shows the first table-tag.

Thanks,
Krissie

Hi Krissie,

just to be sure: Are you using the Shortcode

<table id=8>

or

[table id=8 /]

(you must use the square brackets [ and ]!).

And yes, you can send me the link via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”).

I’m using [table id=8 /] in the code. I copied it from the tablepress-page, where I edited my table. It worked some time ago, and I didn’t change in the content.

Hi,

ok, then please send me a link, so that I can take a direct look. Thanks!

Hi Krissie,

thanks for the link! Indeed, this seems to be caused by that “Custom Content Shortcode” plugin, which seems to contain a module that allows using HTML tags as Shortcodes.

If you want to continue using that plugin, the only solution that I see would be to change the Shortcode that TablePress uses, e.g. with the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-shortcode/

Hi Tobias,

thank you for your help. I will try your extension. Maybe I will kick out the shortcode-Plugin, but before I have to check if it is necessary in some pages.

Thank you very much, best regards,
Krissie

Hi Krissie,

sounds good! Using the Extension is very easy, so that I suggest to try that first.

Tobias
