Hi,
this is because those audio player plugins don’t use regular WordPress Shortcodes but a custom implementation (which by default does not work in tables). To make them work, usually only a slight piece of code is necessary.
For example for the “Audio Player” plugin, that code is
add_filter( 'wp_table_reloaded_cell_content', array( &$AudioPlayer, 'processContent' ), 2 );
and needs to go into your theme’s “functions.php” file.
If you are using a different plugin, please provide a link to it and I should be able to find the necessary code for you.
Best wishes,
Tobias
Hi Tobias, I have added the code as shown before the last ?> in the functions.php file but it still is not working.
I am using Audio Player Version 2.0.4.1 By Martin Laine and a fresh install of WP table reloaded.
You can see what is happening here http://bestpanicattackcure.com/blog/?page_id=160&preview=true
the two audio clips above the table work fine but when I add the same code into the table you can see the results.
Thanks so much
Hi,
thanks for the link and exact plugin name!
The link doesn’t work for unfortunately, as it is only a preview, but the plugin name was actually even better 🙂 With that, I was able to find another piece of code that should work this time. Please try again with
add_filter( 'wp_table_reloaded_cell_content', 'insert_audio_player' );
Best wishes,
Tobias
Hi Tobias thanks for the quick reply… Im not sure whats happening now but when I add your code and hit update I get the following error:
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/freetcom/public_html/bestpanicattackcure/blog/wp-content/themes/twentyten/functions.php on line 176”
I tired removing the code but still get it so?????
thanks for your help with this
Hi,
are you sure that you only added that code? No other things around it? Did you maybe accidentally remove other parts of the code?
If this persists, I suggest to replace the “functions.php” with a fresh one from the WordPress download package and try again.
Best wishes,
Tobias
I just downloaded the theme and will update that file…
Where is the best place to add the code you sent? There is no closing php code on my functions.php…
At the bottom of the script it shows this
printf(
$posted_in,
get_the_category_list( ‘, ‘ ),
$tag_list,
get_permalink(),
the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ )
);
}
endif;
Hi Tobias sorry to bother you again… I fixed the functions.php file and added the code you gave me to the very end of the functions.php file and now the image. text and audio player are showing outside of the table.
I published it so I could send you a link that will work this time : )

Thanks so much for your help
Hi,
yes, right at the end of the “functions.php” is correct.
The Audioplayer now shows outside of the table, because my code was wrong again… Sorry.
Please try again with this one:
function insert_audio_player_into_wp_table_reloaded($source) {
global $AudioPlayer;
return $AudioPlayer->processContent($source);
}
add_filter( 'wp_table_reloaded_cell_content', 'insert_audio_player_into_wp_table_reloaded' );
Best wishes,
Tobias
Well we’re getting closer… it is now in the table but the audio player control is no longer showing…

Hi,
can you disable the usage of the DataTables JavaScript library for this table (on the table’s “Edit” screen).
This library likely interferes with the JavaScript and therefore can not be used at the same time.
Also, you should not put the Audioplayer Shortcode in the first row of the table, as you have that set to be the “table head”.
Regards,
Tobias
You ROCK! Didnt have to disable the js library it worked by moving the code to the 2nd row…
Thank you so much for all your help.

Hi Mark,
hey, cool! Thanks for the test and the confirmation!
Best wishes,

Hi. Thanks for all your work, Tobias.
I’m using this plugin (it converts mp3 files into a play button)…
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/play-button/
What is the code for this? Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
James
Hi James,
the code is a little bit easier for that one (as it’s programmed differently):
add_filter( 'wp_table_reloaded_cell_content', 'play_button_replace' );
Best wishes,
Tobias
Thanks so much for your help.
And sorry for my lack of experience, but earlier you said to put this “right at the end of the ‘functions.php’.” Does it go on a new line, or literally after the last character of the current last line?
…I’m sure I’m making this harder than it is. Thanks for your time.
