 * Hi,
 * It is impossible to make the “TablePress Extension: PHP in tables” to work. I
   cannot make a php script to be presented in a table cell.
 * Any help would be very much appreciated
 * Regards

 * Hi again
 * I have installed the “TablePress Extension: PHP in tables” as a separate folder(
   tablepress-php-in-tables) in the plugins folder of the folder wp-content.
 * Then, I open the Tablepress plugin in the WordPress dashboard, and I insert a
   simple php code like <?php echo “hello”; ?> in a cell of a table.
 * Unfortunately, nothing appears.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Kind regards,
    Andreas

 * Hi Andreas,
 * just to be sure, did you activate the Extension as a plugin?

 * Hi Tobias
 * I am still facing the same problem. You can see the problem in the following 
   example. You can visit the following URL [https://vascularregistry.gr/tables/](https://vascularregistry.gr/tables/)
 * On the first column of this table-example there are the titles.
    On the second
   column there are the values. On the first row, the value is a php script. On 
   the second row the value is a simple php script (<?php echo “Hello”; ?>, and 
   on the third row there is just a number.
 * As you can see whenever a php script is used, it returns no values on the cells.
 * I cannot find what is my mistake. Could you give me a hint?
 * Regards,
 * Andreas

 * Hi,
 * this is really strange then. I don’t really have idea as to why the code is not
   evaluated…
 * Regardless, also for security reasons, maybe a better approach here would be 
   to wrap your PHP code in a custom WordPress Shortcode? That way, you would not
   need PHP in table cells.

 * Hi Tobias,
 * This is to let you know that it seems to work fine now. My mistake had probably
   to do with the path of the directories used in the php script.
 * Anyways, it seems to be sorted now.
 * Thank you for your assistance, and congrats for your great plugin
