# Shortcode not rendering within cells

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I have a tablepress table that has been working for over a year now. It contains
   a shortcode in the last column which uses the “Add To Cart” shortcode of the 
   WPeStore plugin from Tips and Tricks HQ.
 * Here is the link to the plugin – [https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-estore-plugin-complete-solution-to-sell-digital-products-from-your-wordpress-blog-securely-1059](https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-estore-plugin-complete-solution-to-sell-digital-products-from-your-wordpress-blog-securely-1059)
 * The table in question is table id=2 and the page with the error is here – [http://domainhaul.com/domains/](http://domainhaul.com/domains/)
   however that requires an account so I have created a test page for you here:
 * [http://domainhaul.com/test-domains/](http://domainhaul.com/test-domains/)
 * As you can see there is no “Add To Cart” button displayed and when the link is
   clicked the page reloads but nothing happens (no product added to cart).
 * Here is what I have checked so far;
 * 1 – Ruled out an issue with eSore plugin (a single product page and add to cart
   button works)
 * 2 – Ruled out hosting/PHP issue
 * 3 – Installed your plugin to rename the Tablepress shortcode to **“tp_table”**
 * 4 – Unchecked “Use DataTables:” for that table
 * 5 – Tried to use the shortcode **[tp_table id=4 cache_table_output=false /]**
 * None of the above has worked hence I need your help please 🙂
 * Thanks,
    Lewis

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, the Shortcode itself is working, i.e. it’s interpreted. 
   However, the result that the eStore plugin produces seems to be wrong. It’s inserting
   HTML like
 *     ```
       <form method="post" action=" "><input type="image" src=" " class="eStore_button eStore_add_to_cart_button" alt="Add to Cart" /></form>
       ```
   
 * which is wrong (The `action` and `src` attributes are empty).
 * Just to confirm: Does this problem happen when you are logged-in into WordPress
   as well as when you are logged-out? This would be another indicator that this
   is not related to TablePress.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Lewis,
 * yes, the returned output by the eStore Shortcode is much more complex on that
   page. So it seems that the eStore plugin is returning different content in the
   table. Unfortunately, I don’t know why that would be the case, and I can’t think
   of anything in TablePress itself that could be causing this.
    As you that this
   was working fine in the table before, I can only assume that something changed
   in the eStore plugin regarding how it implements what its Shortcodes return…
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * yes, that would be my suggestion here as well.
    If they or you find something
   where I might be able to help, please let me know!
 * Regards,
    Tobias
