 * [Yes](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/), but,
   is this a question about my plugin or not? If not, you should ask on the general
   help forums, not here.

 * i’m sure it was for u, but it didn’t work, i tested.

 * [contact-form-7 id=”747″] in one of the columns and it display the form.

 * [No](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-plugin-easier-for-future-changes/#post-7697237),
   which would have been clear to you if you tried to do it. Next time, just try
   it and see if it works? That way you don’t need to wait on an answer from me,
   and I don’t have to answer questions I’ve already answered.

 * I was able to run shortcodes included in the columns by adding this filter to
   functions.php:
 *     ```
       function run_shortcode ($html) {
         return do_shortcode( make_clickable($html) );
       }
   
       add_filter('gdoc_table_html', 'run_shortcode');
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps.

 * I don’t know what you’ve been smoking and you’re this toxic. You assume too much
   that 10,000 of your active installs know about PHP. The thing is, your assumption
   always ends up of you not being paid for this work. I wonder what would happen
   if you will reach 600,000 installs like TablePress. I guess one simple question
   would blow your minds out.
 * You could have just answered ‘NO.’ It will save your precious 15 seconds instead
   of ‘yada yada yada yada..’ I thought you were busy.
 * `No, which would have been clear to you if you tried to do it. Next time, just
   try it and see if it works? That way you don’t need to wait on an answer from
   me, and I don’t have to answer questions I’ve already answered.`
 * By the way, thanks [@lazarboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lazarboy/)

 * > your assumption always ends up of you not being paid for this work.
 * I’ve been around the block long enough to know that if you were going to donate
   to me, not pay me for access to the plugin’s code, _donate_ for the utility that
   you’ve already gotten out of plugin, you would already have done so. The gall
   you have to think that you can dangle the unfulfilled promise of money in front
   of me as a way to demand my time is some wildly entitled self-importance, not
   to mention epistemically abusive given the context of capitalism and economic
   violence pervading the globe and most social relations today.
 * Plugin development is not a business for me and you are not a customer. That 
   you took offense to the simple suggestion that you merely try for yourself to
   do the thing you are asking about as “toxic” speaks volumes about the way you
   navigate the rest of your life and your interactions with others. Consider that
   in the future, if you want an answer to a simple thing immediately, just try 
   to do the task yourself and see if it works for you. This is not a WordPress-
   specific tip. That’s a life tip.
 * That tip is free of charge for the same reason this plugin is free of charge:
   I’m trying to make a world where people are less capable of abusing each other
   with threats (or promises) of money and instead are more autonomous and resourceful
   and self-reliant. If that doesn’t sound good to you, or if it simply doesn’t 
   work well for you, you are of course welcome to a full refund of the purchase
   price of both this life tip and this plugin 😉

 * exactly what i’m talking about. try review your past replies. Probably 95% of
   them you slapping everyone of us that you don’t get paid for this. if this is
   a project out of love, then there is absolutely no need to be rude. if you want
   to milk money out of this, then go codecanyon. simple as that.
 * if you want people to donate your cause and become your “customer,” you probably
   should start being nice to them. ask yourself, do you buy at amazon at first 
   glance? probably not.
 * consider going out with your friends sometime and don’t just talk to your dog(
   and computer) all day.
 * peace!

 * That’s just it: I _don’t_ want customers. That after all this you still cannot
   understand why someone would not want customers proves my point about the dogmatic,
   rigid worldview you hold. I do not know how to make this clear to you.
