 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Normally, you can just put all the Shortcode parameters in one Shortcode. However,
   the problem in this case is that you simply can not use all of them together 
   because they are not compatible. For example, is not possible to use the FixedHeader
   and FixedColumns together, and these don’t make sense with the flip mode.

 * Thanks for your reply i appreciate
 * please i will like you to set an example for me with the following for it to 
   all be in one shortcode please
 * [table id=123 responsive=flip responsive_breakpoint=device /]
    [table id=123 
   datatables_buttons=”colvis,copy,csv,excel,pdf,print” /] [table id=123 datatables_fixedheader
   =top /]
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * as said above, the `flip` mode does not really work with the FixedHeader, but
   these would work:
 * 1)
 *     ```
       [table id=123 responsive=flip responsive_breakpoint=phone datatables_buttons="colvis,copy,csv,excel,pdf,print" /]
       ```
   
 * (Note how I replaced the word “device” with “phone”, as per the documentation
   of the Responsive Tables Extension.)
 * 2)
    You can also use FixedHeader and Buttons together:
 *     ```
       [table id=123 datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_buttons="colvis,copy,csv,excel,pdf,print" /]
       ```
   
 * However, as these modify the same code internally, another step is necessary 
   for these two. Please add this to the “Custom Commands” textarea on the “Edit”
   screen of the table:
 *     ```
       "dom": "BWlfrtip"
       ```

 * Hi,
 * for the automatic import: Does the same file (URL or from server) work with the
   manual import?

 * Hi,
 * then try that first, please. If the manual import works, we can try to find out
   what’s wrong with the automatic import.

 * hello
 * Thanks for the support
    1. i tried to use manual import and it worked but the
   issue is that its a transaction table i have and i will like the table to always
   update when the transaction update so i dont know how to do that the best is 
   to import from file on server or url but i dont know why its not working is it
   possible i sent you my login details to help me check the problem? 2. also how
   does the shortcode works if i have a shortcode for my transaction table how can
   i use it to display transaction details in tablepress thanks

 * Hi,
 * 1. Ok, if the manual import works, it should be possible to make the periodic
   import work as well. Note that this requires the WordPress Cron mechanism, so
   that it might be a good idea to use a server cron job, e.g. via [https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/real-cron-job/](https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/real-cron-job/)(
   the exact configuration depends on your web host company).
 * 2. I don’t understand. The Shortcode can only show the exact table data as it
   was imported.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
