 * Hello,
 * I have put the shortcode in the cell example:
    [[table-cell id=36 cell=I100 /]](http://moreyouthfulskin.com/go/timetospa/gentle-rose-exfoliator-15-ml/)
   and it looks like this: ⌊shortcode⌉ What´s wrong? Regards,
 * Milada

 * Hi,
 * it looks like this is inside a link, right?
 * Does the Shortcode work on its own, without anything else in a cell? Does the
   Shortcode work outside of a table, in a plain post/page?

 * yes, it must be inside the link like this:
    [[table-cell id=36 cell=I100 /]](http://moreyouthfulskin.com/go/timetospa/gentle-rose-exfoliator-15-ml/)
   as I told you before several times and you confirmed it. The second reason it
   must be inside the link, is, that this is the affiliate link. If I put it without
   any link, it displays like this: [table-cell id=36 cell=I100 /]
 * What should I activate to see the price and not the shortcode? Please provide
   a screenshot.
    Thanks,
 * MIlada

 * Hi,
 * are you actually doing what I’m suggesting? What do you see when you put
 *     ```
       [table-cell id=36 cell=I100 /]
       ```
   
 * inside a table cell (without a link, for testing), and inside a regular post 
   or page?

 * of course, I already replied you, I am repasting my reply from above:
    when I
   put it without any link, it displays like this: [table-cell id=36 cell=I100 /]

 * Hi,
 * this means that the Shortcode is not parsed at all.
    If possible, I’d like to
   take a direct look at this on your site. Could you therefore please create a 
   temporary admin account for me and send me the details via email (the address
   is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this
   directly. Thanks!

 * That would be kind of you!
    Can you please give me your email, so that I can 
   give you my credentials? I am afraid, but I do not know how to setup the fake
   admin. Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * as I wrote above, my email address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”.
   
   You can set up another admin in the “Users” menu in your WordPress dashboard.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the email! I was able to log in and found the problem, after I looked
   at the screenshots again that you have posted:
 * You are testing this in the “Preview” of the table 6. This will not work, because
   the `[table-cell ...]` Shortcode does not work in the admin area.
 * To test this, just add the Shortcode `[table id=6 /]` somewhere to a post or 
   page. You will then see that it works 🙂
