Shortcode not working in Table Cell

    Hi Tobias,

    I have two GEO targeting plugins / shortcodes that I’m using in a table to display the flag of the visitor and whether they can be accepted or not.

    The codes work outside of the table but when i put them in they remain static showing just the UK, even when i visit the site from other regions using http://www.locabrowser.com/ to test.

    The two plugins are MaGiKS Geo Country Lite (for the flags) and GeoTarget IP Plugin by Flytonic.

    I have created a page with the table and the codes outside so you can see the problem. http://www.livecasinocomparer.com/geo-test-page/

    Hoping that you can help me fix this 🙂

    Cheers
    Neil

    Actually I think I have worked it out from your previous posts on the subject.

    I’ve added cache_table_output=false / to the table shortcode and it seems to have done the trick. It also made me look at two other caching facilities I use and I’ve had to exclude the pages from both of them to make the geo work properly!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Yes, the caching is most likely responsible for this. Good to hear that you found this parameter already, which should indeed fix this for TablePress. And yes, to make the detection work properly, you will likely have to turn off all the caching for that page.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Thanks, something strange has now occurred.

    I’m now losing all the paragraphs formatting on the page where I have the table. If I remove the table short code from the page it works fine, if I add it back it screws up the page again. It’s happened to both the pages where I have amended the table to include the geo fields.

    I also tried just removing the clear cache and leaving the table in same issue.

    The two pages are:

http://www.livecasinocomparer.com/live-blackjack/blackjack-side-bets/

    I have all caching switched off.

    I think I’m going mad!! lol

    Ok, so I’ve put the old version of the table back with no GEO code in it and the page displays fine, so there is something with the geo short code and tablepress that is causing the <p> to disappear.

    Is there any code or anything that can be wrapped around the short codes to stop this?

    Hi,

    TablePress is definitely not messing with those <p> tags, so I can only assume that something else is removing them.
    My feeling is that something is turning off the wpautop() function.

    I suggest to temporarily deactivate all other plugins one by one, and also switch to a WordPress default theme, until you can find a cause for this.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you.

    I think I may have found a work around. Thats to install the Tinymce Advanced plugin for the editor and use the config item – do not remove <p> tags from posts.

    Seems to have done the trick, but that isn’t the root cause. I’ll do some more investigation when I have more time.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    indeed, this is likely not the root cause, as the <p>s are added by default. I hope that you can find something!
