# Only first instance works

 * Hi, Simon! I just found your “Info Popup”, and I really like it — easy but powerful,
   and just what I need on my site. However, I’m having a small problem. I’ve created
   around 15 info popups, and I want to use them with a table of data listing training
   programs. On the table, the same program may appear several times, as it may 
   be offered at different locations. But the popup only works for the first instance
   of each program.
 * I am using the shortcodes inside TablePress, so I thought there might be a conflict.
   But I tested the issue by simply repeating the same shortcode on several lines
   of a normal page, and it behaves the same way — only the first instance shows
   the popup.
 * Here is the page: [http://ywamfrontiers.com/training-2/](http://ywamfrontiers.com/training-2/)
 * If you go back and forth between the third and fourth entries, you’ll see the
   problem.

 * Hi,
    Thanks, pleased you like it.
 * This is the second time a conflict with Tablepress has been raised – see post
   from cbkdsc below.
 * I looked at the link you sent but no instances of InfoPopup are working, and 
   I see from the source that there is no jQuery for InfoPopup, so clearly there’s
   a conflict going on there.
 * Regarding the link not working on a plain page, please try with the TablePress
   disabled and let me know if it then works.
 * Thanks,
    Simon

 * Thanks, Simon, for your quick response.
 * I have experimented with InfoPopup and TablePress at another site that I use 
   for development, here:
 * [http://www.invitethemin.com/development/training/](http://www.invitethemin.com/development/training/)
 * I have deactivated the TablePress plugin from this WP installation. I now have
   simply listed the InfoPopup shortcode three times (lines 104-106 of the code).
   While the mouse cursor correctly changes over all three lines, the popup text
   only appears for the first line.
 * (I also tried opening the page in other browsers (Safari and Firefox – I work
   in Chrome), just in case I had a strange cache. Same result.)

 * Hi,
    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Using multiple instance of the
   same shortcode on one page doesn’t work I’m afraid – you will have to create 
   different shortcodes for each instance.
 * Hope this helps?
 * Rgds,
    Simnon

 * Hi, I have the same issue with tablepress. I want to use infopopup to show the
   full names of acronyms. Only the first instance of an acronym shows a popup; 
   all other instances are non-functional. I understand this is how infopopup works
   at the moment. It would be great if there were an option in future for first 
   or all instances.
