 * I am having some problems using another plugin within TablePress data. I am using
   a shortcode but its just coming up as text. Do I need a different TablePress 
   extension like allowing PHP to make it work?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fusing-other-plugins-within-tablepress%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * What other plugin are you trying to use? You must make sure that it’s using the
   normal WordPress Shortcode API in its code, and not a custom implementation.

 * In this particular case its [ImageText](https://wordpress.org/plugins/imagetext/).
   Converts a text string to image. Having problems with Google Ads thinking I’m
   a pharmacist because I have certain drugs mentioned. Would like to try this before
   having to remove the words completely.
    The example that I used in the last tab
   was
 * `[imgtxt type=text]propofol[/imgtxt]`
 * Worked fine when I placed it outside the table but not from within.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link to the plugin! Just as I had thought, this particular plugin
   does not use the WordPress Shortcode API, but a custom implementation. Fortunately,
   it can be made work with TablePress. For that, please add the line
 *     ```
       add_filter( "tablepress_cell_content", "de\\flashpixx\\imagetext\\filter::run");
       ```
   
 * to the file
    /wp-content/plugins/imagetext/imagetext.php on your server. Please
   add that line into the line BEFORE the `?>` at the very end of the file.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
