 * Hi,
 * I’m pleased to have found your plugin because it does exactly what I need it 
   to do… or almost. When I apply a filter to the shortcode, the table simply disappears
   from the page.
 * [Here’s](http://69.195.124.72/~vitruvi9/all-art-classes-2/) a sample of the page
   without filtering applied. You can see that the table displays nicely.
 * I followed the instructions for creating the TablePress Extension: Row Filtering
   plugin, activated it, and used the following shortcode to filter for “Figure 
   Drawing Basics”:
 * **[table id=1 filter=”figure&&drawing&&basics” /]**
 * [Here’s](http://69.195.124.72/~vitruvi9/art-classes-chicago/all-classes/) the
   result. You can see that the table is simply gone.
 * I tried disabling all plugins, and switched to the WP default theme… Nothing 
   fixed the problem. I’m at wits-end here. Can you help? I don’t want to look for
   another plugin when yours does what I want so elegantly…
 * Thanks for your time 🙂

 * Hi,
 * wow, you are fast 🙂 That filtering extension isn’t even online that long 🙂 
   And there’s not even a link to it yet, so how did you actually find it?! 🙂
 * Anyway, the solution is simple. Your Shortcode needs to look like this:
 *     ```
       [table id=1 filter="Figure Drawing Basics" /]
       ```

 * Ha! Thanks Tobias, that worked!
 * I’m a convert from WP-Table-Reloaded… I was using the instructions on your website
   for that plugin. I’m glad to hear you’ll be supporting the filtering function
   official for TablePress 🙂
 * Thanks for the great code and support!
 * Best,
    David.

 * Hi,
 * ah, ok 🙂 Yes, the extensions will all be supported. I just have to find the 
   time to make the necessary code changes in each one of them.
 * Best wishes,

 * I’ve just been implementing your shortcodes all over my site, and I just wanted
   to say thanks again… This plugin is just _perfect_, and is going to save me a
   lot of work updating various tables on my website. Thank-you, thank-you!
