 * This is a great plugin but I have a problem with the combination of another plugin“
   linkify text”. I have those plugins installed but the linkify text plugin doesn’t
   work. The plugin links a word, normally it does in a table of wordpress but not
   with tablepress. Can someone help me?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m afraid this is a problem in that Linkify Text plugin. It seems that it’s 
   running too early, so that it does not pick up content that was inserted via 
   a Shortcode.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Can we do it with this code in the main file of tablepress?
 *     ```
       function this_plugin_first() {
       	// ensure path to this file is via main wp plugin path
       	$wp_path_to_this_file = preg_replace('/(.*)plugins\/(.*)$/', WP_PLUGIN_DIR."/$2", __FILE__);
       	$this_plugin = plugin_basename(trim($wp_path_to_this_file));
       	$active_plugins = get_option('active_plugins');
       	$this_plugin_key = array_search($this_plugin, $active_plugins);
       	if ($this_plugin_key) { // if it's 0 it's the first plugin already, no need to continue
       		array_splice($active_plugins, $this_plugin_key, 1);
       		array_unshift($active_plugins, $this_plugin);
       		update_option('active_plugins', $active_plugins);
       	}
       }
       add_action("activated_plugin", "this_plugin_first");
       ```

 * I have installed another plugin for the order to load the plugins, I have set
   tablepress as first plugin to load, but it doesn’t work…

 * Hi,
 * the load order of the plugins has not influence here (I was maybe not precise
   enough there.). You will need to instruct the “Linkify Text” plugin to run its
   routines later in the processing, i.e. after Shortcodes are parsed.
 * The best way to do that should be to add this to the end of your theme’s “functions.
   php” file:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'c2c_linkify_text_filters', 'c2c_add_tablepress' );
       function c2c_add_tablepress( $filters ) {
         $filters[] = 'tablepress_table_output';
         return $filters;
       }
       ```
