I’m trying to use a tablepress table on a category page. This table works in a post but doesnt work in this category.

Hi,

thanks for the link!
Can you now please explain, where exactly you want a table to appear on that page, and what you are getting instead?

(The problem might simply be that your theme does not show the entire post content on a category page, so that Shortcodes are not evaluated there.)

Hi Tobias,
I just put the table back in category’s introductory content section (wordpress thesis) and it does not work. This same table works perfectly in the following post – https://www.sightwordsgame.com/alphabet/letters-worksheets/.
Kindest regards,

Denise

Hi Denise,

ah, thanks! Now I see what’s going on.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing that I can do about this, as this is exactly the issue I mentioned above. Your theme simply does not evaluate Shortcodes on category pages, as it probably uses the WordPress function the_excerpt() there, and not the_content(). This would have to be changed in the theme, to make Shortcodes work. There’s nothing that can be done about this in TablePress directly. Sorry.

Tobias

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly!
Have a great weekend!
