    I just recently noticed my download links in my TablePress plugin are no longer working when I use the wpdm_package id shortcode in a table field. As a result my table doesn’t build properly. The link I posted will show only the first column “Name/Download”. But it doesn’t show the two other columns associated with each row. If I remove [wpdm_package id=’%randomnumber%’] from the table field cell rows then the table renders properly but I don’t have any download links. I also have installed the WordPress Download Manager Version: 2.9.99 Author: W3 Eden. Disabling this plugin seems to allow for a download button to appear but it isn’t mapping properly as it attempts to load a page with no page ID which redirects back to the main page. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.

    · TablePress: 1.9.2

    The Tablepress preview appears totally different than what’s on the actual page. This might be a CSS or formatting problem that prevents the table from showing properly.

    I’ve attempted to shrink the tablepress table ID 4 using CSS coding in the Plugin options under: –> Custom CSS with the following code:

    .tablepress-id-4 .column-1,
    .tablepress-id-4 .column-3 {
    width: 20%;
    }

    .tablepress-id-4 .column-2 {
    width: 60%;
    }

    This has absolutely no effect on the table what-so-ever.

    Attempting to modify the table tags with Responsive Tables plugin activated and the post page code modified to: [table id=4 responsive=scroll/] Has zero impact on the table. I never had problems with earlier versions of Tablepress until I started doing my updates for my WordPress site. I’ve tried changing the default template of the post page to full page instead of default template but it continues to improperly display the table correctly regardless of how much screen space the table has.

    At this point I’m not sure why embedding the wpdm_package in a table field is preventing me from rendering my tables properly to fit the page but as it stands my download links are no longer accessible as they don’t appear to be fitting within the allocated space on the page. I am more than willing to make a donation if someone is able to assist me with this. Thanks!

    *** FIXED ***
    Through the process of elimination I have isolated the problem of the TablePress behavior to a plugin called Download Manager by W3 Eden. There were options for this plugin that I missed to disable Bootstrap CSS. That fixed the table formatting immediately. There still is a problem with the download buttons not showing their assigned colors but that’s for another forum. Please consider this problem resolved.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
    Also sorry for the late reply! As I was on holidays, I did not have a chance to look at this earlier.

    Great to hear that you made such nice progress on this!

    Regards,

    Hi Tobias,

    As mentioned previously I am using the WP Download Manager plugin to include Download links within a Tablepress cell. It appears that the CSS for the Download Manager buttons don’t work when the shortcodes for the downloads are embedded into a TablePress table. I’ve attempted to reach out to WP Download manager for support but since the problem lies within the Tablepress table they aren’t interested in offering support for my problem.

    Do you have any suggestions on how I can have the proper CSS apply to the WP-Download Manager Shortcode button within Tablepress? What’s interesting is this use to work in older versions of TablePress, since updating it has stopped working along the way. I’ve attempted everything I know. I’m willing to donate if I can have this problem fixed. Not sure how I can specify custom CSS of one plugin to be adapted to the shortcode in a tablepress row.

    Thank you,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    let’s start fresh here. I’m now looking at the table from your link in the first post. I see a table with three columns, where the first one contains “Download” buttons. What exactly is not working there, or what exactly do you want to change?

    Regards,

    Hi Tobias,

    So the download buttons appearance are the problems themselves. The CSS formatting isn’t being applied to the button in the TablePress rows. The buttons should resemble that of the short code found here:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/hps2dej1y45ph9h/WPDMGR-Buttons.jpg?dl=0

    In order for these buttons to even appear within the tablepress row I need to disable this option in the Download Manager Plugin as shown here:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ja4jwxmchtb4b9b/WPDMGR%20Settings.jpg?dl=0

    If I uncheck BootStrap CSS then it seems the button pushes the TablePress row off the screen and no matter what resolution you use you can’t see the buttons. So there is a conflict with the CSS in the Download Manager plugin when used within a Tablepress cell. The results you see on my webpage link is with BootStrap CSS Disabled which then leads to improper color and sizing of the download button but it is visible in the TablePress at least.

    When I leave Bootstrap CSS unchecked this is how Tablepress reacts to that change:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/g0i1898f64um93s/Tutorials.jpg?dl=0

    Preferably, I would like to leave Bootstrap CSS unchecked so the download buttons outside of the Tablepress tables also appear as they should. See how the Table gets stretched to infinity. The Download Buttons no longer appear in Tablepress.

    Regards,
    Paul

    Okay I got it working! As it turns out I was able to specify in the shortcode for WP Download Manager an old Template File. Before I was using their current template file which obviously has some CSS problems.

    Instead of using: [wpdm_package id=”3487″] I changed it to: [wpdm_package id=”3487″ template=”link-template-default-old”] to reference the old way before they updated their plugin and now you can see it is working with the CSS. Sorry for dumping this on your forum I wasn’t sure where the problem laid. Now I can see this is clearly a Download Manager Plugin problem and they were of no help as I had to discover this solution on my own.

    Kind Regards,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    that’s good to hear! Yes, this is problem with their CSS styling, TablePress does not influence buttons in any way.
