Latest plugin version plus Elementor Pro produces error

Resolved electricd7

We have been using tablepress and Elementor Pro on our site for a couple of years. I noticed recently that since updating all plugins, I get a red error when editing any page on our site (whether it includes tablepress content or not) that says “Failed to initialize plugin: tablepress_tinymce.” I am not clear on how I can eliminate this error? The tables still show up just fine on the site, it seems to be some sort of integration issue with Elementor, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot or solve?

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

This seems to happen when other plugins load the TinyMCE editor on the page. TablePress has an integration for that too, but something on the site is removing that from loading. I haven’t found out what though 🙁

Now, I will however be adding a way to turn off that integration in the next release, which should allow you to at least prevent that error message.

Regards,
Tobias

OK thanks for the quick reply. Turning off the integration would fix the annoying message and be a good solution for me. I look forward to the next release.

Hi @tobiasbg ,

still have this issue, and no option for disabling tinymce in the latest version…

Thanks for your help, your plugin rocks 🙂

Hi,

sorry to hear that you are also affected by this. The plugin filter hook for this will be in TablePress 2.1, very soon!

Hi,

as outlined above, there’s no direct fix for this at this time, as it’s unclear what exactly is causing this. You can however turn off the integration of the table button that apparently plays a role here.

For that, it’s enough to add the line
```
add_filter( 'tablepress_add_legacy_editor_button', '__return_false' );
```
to e.g. your theme’s “functions.php” file.

Where do I add this exactly? I edited the /themes/total-plus/functions.php and after saving I was unable to see any of the admin pages (they just loaded a white page?) Perhaps it should be in wp-includes/functions.php ?

Hi,

yes, /themes/total-plus/functions.php sounds correct here.

Make sure to add the code exactly as posted above (copied from the forums, and not e.g. from the notification email, which might give you wrong quotation marks). Usually, the very end of the file is fine (unless the last line is ?>, then you would add that line right before that).

Regards,
Tobias

@tobiasbg, looks good with this:
For that, it’s enough to add the line
add_filter( 'tablepress_add_legacy_editor_button', '__return_false' );
to e.g. your theme’s “functions.php” file.

Thanks!

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