    I am using the amazon simple admin plugin to create shortcodes to be used in cells of a table created with this plugin. I want columns to show image & name, price and rating. This information is filled in by the shortcode from the amazon simple admin plugin. When I create table and enter the short code I only see the shortcode and not the converted information.

    I have created a page on my website that shows what is happening. The page is here.

    The shortcode for amazon simple admin work on the page with no problem at the top of the page listed above. In the table you will see the short code but not the converted information.

    Looking for how to put the amazon simple admin code into a cell in the table. Thanks.

    Hi,

    this happens because the Amazon plugin does not use the regular WordPress Shortcode API. By default, only Shortcodes that use that API are recognized in table cells as well.
    However, this can be fixed easily. For the AmazonSimpleAdmin, you just need to paste the following code into your theme’s “functions.php” file, right before the closing PHP bracket ?> at the end.

    global $asa;
add_filter('wp_table_reloaded_content', array($asa, 'parseContent'), 1);

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Tobias,

    I added the above line and I get the following error code now:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/jminge1/public_html/ellipticaltrainersguide.net/wp-content/themes/flexibility3/functions.php:15) in /home/jminge1/public_html/ellipticaltrainersguide.net/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 897

    Tobias,

    Scratch above post. I have the code in the functions.php file. When I look at the table now I still see the [asa] shortcode text instead of the converted information.

    Hi,

    ah, stupid me… Tiny mistake in my code from above. There’s a “cell_” missing. Please try again with

    global $asa;
add_filter('wp_table_reloaded_cell_content', array($asa, 'parseContent'), 1);

    Regards,
    Tobias
