* Hi
* I noticed that once I activate the plugin “tablepress” no acf-tables are rendered.
* Message in my browser: [table “” not found /]
* If i disable tablespress it works again.
* Is there a way to have your plugin work in together with tablepress?
* Thanks
Uwe

* Hi,
* “Tablepress” uses the shortcode `[table]` which you may also defined to output
the tablefield´s table. If so, all you have to do is renaming the shortcode for
outputting the tablefield table like `add_shortcode( 'tablefield', … );`
* Cheers,
Johann

* Well, the issue seems to be a name conflict of two shortcodes named “table”.
Did you add a code like `add_shortcode( 'table', … );` by yourself in the functions.
php?

* Hi
* I currently do use the following code in my functions.php (copied from a support
ticket here and modified it to output also the table caption:
* ```
function shortcode_acf_tablefield( $atts ) {
$a = shortcode_atts( array(
'field-name' => false,
'post-id' => false,
), $atts );
$table = get_field( $a['field-name'], $a['post-id'] );
$return = '';
if ( ! empty( $table['caption'] ) ) {
$return .= '' . $table['caption'] . '
';
}
if ( $table ) {
$return .= '';
if ( $table['header'] ) {
$return .= '';
$return .= '';
foreach ( $table['header'] as $th ) {
$return .= '| ';
$return .= $th['c'];
$return .= ' | ';
}
$return .= '
';
$return .= '';
}
$return .= '';
foreach ( $table['body'] as $tr ) {
$return .= '';
foreach ( $tr as $td ) {
$return .= '| ';
$return .= $td['c'];
$return .= ' | ';
}
$return .= '
';
}
$return .= '';
$return .= '
';
}
return $return;
}
add_shortcode( 'table', 'shortcode_acf_tablefield' );
```
* The shortcode I am using to render the table is: [table field-name=”my-tablename”]
* Thanks very much for you help in advance

* I tried to replace all `$table` with `$tabletest` but that doesnt seem to work
either.
* WP display now the shortcode instead of [table “” not found /]
* Hope you can help me 🙂

* Hi,
* you must change `add_shortcode( 'table', 'shortcode_acf_tablefield' );` into `
add_shortcode( 'tablefield', 'shortcode_acf_tablefield' );` and then using `[
tablefield field-name="my-tablename"]` to output a tablefields table.
* Cheers,
Johann
