    Hi, Tobias,

    First of all, thank you so much for your awesome plugin.

    I am trying to use it within one of my projects but I couldn’t get it work with my settings.

    I don’t know if I am doing anything wrong. I put the shortcode {Keyword} inside a cell but didn’t work. The shortcode is from another plugin (page generator pro).

    I tried [table id=123 cache_table_output=false /] that I’ve seen from one of your answers but neither worked.

    Could you please give me a hand?

    Cheers

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    {Keyword} is not a valid Shortcode in the sense of the WordPress Shortcode API, but apparently a custom implementation by that plugin. Therefore, we’ll need a bit of extra code to make these work. Unfortunately, as this seems to be a premium plugin, I can’t access the source code to find that code. You’d therefore please have to ask the developer for the function name that needs to be run on content to evaluate these keywords.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you so much for you quick response.

    Actually there is a free version if you want to check it out https://es.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/page-generator/

    Anyway I’m going to ask the developer about the function name and let you know.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    I had a quick look at the code of the free version, but couldn’t immediately find the function, as my time is limited at the moment.
    It would be best if their support team can provide this.

    Hi Tobias,

    I asked the developer and he replied this:

    I can’t provide specifics on how they might want to implement a solution, as it will depend on their software. However, they’ll most likely want to force processing of their shortcodes using the page_generator_pro_generate_post_args filter, which fires prior to the creation of the generated Page:

    I hope it helps, let me know if I have to ask him anything else

    Thank you for your time and patience

    Hi,

    hhm, no, I don’t see how that solves our problem.
    What we need is the PHP function that searches for {keyword} in content.
    For example, WordPress normally uses

    add_filter( 'the_content', 'do_shortcode' );

    to replace WordPress Shortcodes with the corresponding content in posts and pages.
    TablePress uses a similar code like

    add_filter( 'tablepress_cell_content', 'do_shortcode' );

    to search for such Shortcodes in table cells.

    What we now need is their function equivalent to that do_shortcode PHP function. Its task is to search for things like {keyword} and replace it with the correct content at that time.

    Regards,
    Tobias
