# Enable Visitor Features function not working

 * I run a database about the touring Broadway shows in North America. If a show
   tours longer than a season, I like to create a table with the past tour stops
   and make it searchable, as in the linked page. However, I recently noticed that
   the filter function is very hit or miss, in that it will show up the initial 
   time I visit the page, but will disappear if I refresh the page. (If you visit
   the page, make sure that you refresh after the initial visit it to see what I
   mean. You’ll also want to go to the “Past Seasons” tab as that’s where I have
   the searchable table.) When the filter feature disappears, I can also see that
   the full table is visible, even if I check that I only want a limited number 
   of rows visible per page, so this may be an issue with the Enable Visitor Features
   function.
 * This could be unrelated but sometimes as well the “Edit” link will also not appear
   when I view a page, which forces me to find another way to get to that table.
 * Hopefully this can be resolved as I use this feature frequently for research 
   purposes.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fenable-visitor-features-function-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * I’m not really sure what’s going on here, but it looks like there’s a caching
   problem — even though the caching then would have cached the data from the “logged
   in” view, which is uncommon.
 * What could also be worth checking if you are actually still seeing the `[table.../]`
   Shortcode when editing the page (in the normal content editor in the site’s WordPress
   admin area). I have seen plugins/themes that offer some sort of “frontend editing”
   or “live editing” which then breaks Shortcodes, by basically replacing them with
   their output.
 * Can you maybe check that? If you can’t find anything, please get in touch via
   the yellow “Send us an email” button on [https://tablepress.org/pricing/](https://tablepress.org/pricing/)
   and I’ll see what else we can try.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias

 * Hi again,
 * to add on, please also make sure that you are using the latest versions of plugins,
   in particular of TablePress, your page builder (Elementor?), and any caching 
   or optimization plugins.
 * Regards,
   Tobias
