 * Hello Michael,
 * For the life of me I cannot figure out why one of our forms won’t filter information
   into a table. This code pulls content from two forms and it pulls the filtered
   words from the Turkish form just fine.
 * The problem is with “Wedding Questionnaire” and “attending=Yes!”. Even when I
   use only that it doesn’t work. Same from clicking the link in the shortcode generator.
 * Here’s the code:
 * [cfdb-table form=”Katilim Formu,Wedding Questionnaire” filter=”attending=Evet!
   ||attending=Yes!||attending=Yes :)||attending=Evet :)” show=”name,food-dish” 
   header=”false”]
 * Thanks a million!

 * I don’t see any problem there.
 * Adding `debug="true"` to the shortcode will print out some information about 
   how the shortcode is parsing the filter. That may or may not be helpful.
 * If the form submissions have a space somewhere, you have to account for this.
   Is the value exactly “Yes!” or might it be “Yes! ” or ” Yes!” or “Yes !”?
 * You might also try just this to see if you can get it to work:
    `[cfdb-table 
   form="Wedding Questionnaire" filter="attending=Yes!"]`

 * Dear Michael,
 * I should have deleted the show field like you have suggested here. I found out
   that one of the field names changed, which is why it wasn’t showing those results.
   Thanks a lot!
