The main advantage I usually find, is that having the browser generate the PDF seems more robust, as the PDF libraries for PHP are often not as reliable/up-to-date (which is obviously not your fault in any way, as those libraries are maintained by others, and the browser usually seems to know how to read it’s own rendering better—no matter how good the PDF library… though correct me if I’m mistaken on that…).

But thanks for reminding me about the PDF export part of DataTables… I had used that in the past but had forgotten about that option!

Yes, actually I put my custom table styles into the “custom CSS” field for Print-o-Matic, and then let the browser handle creating the PDF from the rendered page… That’s the best solution I’ve been able to come up with…

BTW, I often use your plugin in concert with the awesome Print-o-Matic plugin. This gives me the perfect combination of table editing (TablePress), and the ability to print only the table (Print-o-Matic) — to PDF etc. in the browser.

Just in case you might be interested to know what other plugins people use closely with yours…

Just a note, modified it to this to avoid the deprecated admin_print_styles function:

/* =============================================
       Alter TablePress Admin Layout Table.
   ============================================= */

add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_tablepress_id_column_size', 20);

function custom_tablepress_id_column_size() {
    $current_screen = get_current_screen();
    if ( 'tablepress_list' === $current_screen->id ) {
    ?>
    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
        .tablepress-all-tables thead .column-table_id {
            width : 150px !important;
        }
    </style>
    <?php
    }
}

Thank you Tobias! Also an effective solution.

And thank you for the best table plugin ever made for WordPress!

Update… They are working on a “Code” widget:
https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/40907

Additionally, WordPress is long overdue for a “Code” widget that is specifically for placing raw code (shortcodes, javascript, SVG, HTML, etc.). This is what people would have been using if it had been available, and then now the addition of the visual editor to the text widget would not be breaking anything, and would have been the welcome addition it was hoped to be…

This change caused an ongoing crisis on dozens of my sites as users went and edited a widget like they usually do, but then had all the code-containing widgets insta-break on them.

Sure one can use:

remove_filter('widget_text_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('widget_text_content', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter('widget_text_content', 'capital_P_dangit');
remove_filter('widget_text_content', 'convert_smilies');

but that doesn’t help keep any code from being mangled when changing over to the visual editor and back to text (and it always defaults to “Visual” now).

Looking into this a bit more. I think I’ve found the most current and easy way to implement this, and get a free dev account also:

Sign up for a free one year Office365 developer account:
https://dev.office.com/devprogram

Then once you have an account and are logged in, go here to set up your app and keys (about as easy as Google’s system, perhaps easier). This is the current BEST place to set up your app:
https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/

Then go here for an easy tutorial for writing a working implementation:
https://dev.outlook.com/restapi/tutorial/php
Source code:
https://github.com/jasonjoh/php-tutorial

Then the API docs are here (use the 2.0 API and the above app registration link to enable dynamic permission grant ability, like Google):
https://msdn.microsoft.com/office/office365/howto/rest-api-overview
https://msdn.microsoft.com/office/office365/APi/mail-rest-operations

Jason, do you have an Office365 account to test with? (personally, I always hate to pay for an account for something so that I can develop something free! lol).

I can probably get you set up with one.

Nevermind. “SMTPS” is TLS, I just didn’t see it for some reason…

@termoplus

So you removed email functionality and you stopped getting spam? You might just be on to something!

To permanently end your problem (and everyone else’s), have you also tried executing the following on the command line:
format c:
answer yes
?

Everyone remember! If you install Postman, you may be “vulnerable” to getting 100% of your email! You have been warned!

One additional note:

If anyone else uses the theme Highend from HB-Themes.com and needs to fix this right away. It is very simple to do:

The problem is with the file functions.php on line 1313. In that line the email function uses

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Simply change this to (adding the wp_):

wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

This will alow Postman to work as it hooks into the wp_mail() function. Note: the php mail() function is blocked in WPEngine and many other hosts.

And better yet, put an override in your child theme for this.

To find this function (in case the line number changes later), look for this function (my change to this function is already present below):

/* AJAX MAIL
================================================== */
add_action(‘wp_ajax_mail_action’, ‘sending_mail’);
add_action(‘wp_ajax_nopriv_mail_action’, ‘sending_mail’);
function sending_mail() {
$site = get_site_url();
$subject = __(‘New Message!’, ‘hbthemes’);
$email = $_POST[‘contact_email’];
$email_s = filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
$comments = stripslashes($_POST[‘contact_comments’]);
$name = stripslashes($_POST[‘contact_name’]);
$to = hb_options(‘hb_contact_settings_email’);
$message = “Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nMessage: $comments \n\nThis email was sent from $site”;
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . $name . ‘ <‘ . $email_s . ‘>’ . “\r\n” . ‘Reply-To: ‘ . $email_s;
wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
exit();
}

Note: In my case, because I expect them to fix this soon, I’m just modifying the original functions.php, even though I know it will be overritten when the theme is updated, because I don’t want to put work-arounds in my child theme for silly things like this unless I must. ??

Thanks also for the useful dev notes.txt

$kevinCostner … hehe ??

Just a quick note: HB-Themes said they will get right on a fix:

https://hb-themes.com/forum/all/topic/highend-theme-preventing-contact-form-7-from-sending-mail-correctly/#post-34200

Thanks for your awesome help, and the suggestion to check sending with the default 2015 theme instead!!
