# Visual Composer bug

 * Hello,
 * When I use Visual Composer and map the [table] tag so that I can use your plugin
   within Visual Composer, it gives me a warning: “Easy Table: It seems that [table]
   shortcode already used by another plugin and potentially cause problem with Easy
   Table. Please change Easy Table short code tag into another term other than vc_table”,
   and my tables don’t appear.
 * The ideal would be to auto-integrate the plugin with Visual Composer, but really,
   if there was just an option to “skip” the check, I believe that should work equally
   well.

 * As it’s impossible to use same shortcode for different purpose, if there is another
   plugin using table shortcode you should change shortcode tag for Easy Table to
   another tag. eg. [easytable]
    This can be done via setting on the Easy Table 
   option.

 * Hi,
 * I ended up using a different plugin because of this bug, but for your information
   so you can improve it if you wish, I reply.
 * I’m not using the same shortcode for a different purpose. Visual Composer allows
   you to “map” shortcodes from other plugins (so that I can use the other plugin
   inside of visual composer). “Mapping” in Visual Composer does not actually create
   the shortcode – it simply defines how to use it so that Visual Composer can make
   a visual interface for others’ plugin. However if I map your shortcode (or the
   modified shortcode from the settings of Easy Table and again try to map in Visual
   Composer), your plugin thinks that Visual Composer is defining the shortcode,
   which it isn’t.
 * A very simple solution would be to add a checkbox in your settings that says,
   I know what I’m doing and I want to map this shortcode anyway, even though Easy
   Table is detecting conflicts.
 * I hope that helps. Until you add that option, I cannot use your plugin. Thanks!

 * Thanks for your info and advice.
    It’s useful for the future if this plugin.
