 * Hi,
    I need to create a table that would have headers both in the first row AND
   the first column.. In the plugins documentation i found an option called “first_column_th”.
   I tried using it in my table, and its not working, i dont understand why.. This
   is the shortcode i use to insert the table into a post: `[table id=9 first_column_th
   =true /]` I would appreciate any help on the subject.

 * Hi,
 * that Shortcode seems to be correct. You also found the correct parameter for 
   this feature.
 * Have you checked the HTML output, whether the first column got <th> instead of
   <td> HTML tags? They don’t have a default styling in that place, so you might
   not see the difference just from looking at it.
 * Can you maybe provide a link to the page with your table?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi again,
    Thanks for the quick reply! The tags in the HTML output were not changed,
   but i figured out why is it happening.. Apparently, typing the shortcode into
   the WYSIWYG editor manualy, applied an HTML `<strong>` tag to it (reason for 
   that was having some bolded content before and after the table). If the shortcode
   was wrapped inside the tag, everything would be ok.. Instead, the WYSIWYG editors
   output looked something like this: `<strong><strong>[table id=11 </strong></strong
   ><strong>first_column_th=true</strong><strong><strong> /]</strong></strong>` 
   At that point instead of outputing a table in the post, all i could get was: “[
   table 9 not found /]” (or something similiar, i cant remember the exact message).
 * A tiny glitch, that messed things up pretty bad. I hope it helps anyone having
   a similliar issues in the future.
 * BTW. Looking forward to a backend checkbox for the column th shortcode 🙂

 * Hi,
 * ah, yes, that stup*d WYSIWYG editor 🙂 I stopped using it a long time ago, due
   to that and similar issues…
 * Nice to hear that you found the reason for the problem!
 * Regarding the backend checkbox: That’s likely not going to come. Mainly, because
   this feature is not used a whole lot, but every option or checkbox I add on the
   backend is another source for confusion and makes using the plugin more complicated
   for new or inexperienced users. Therefore I decided to make a few options only
   available via Shortcode, especially if they are not needed for a plain and simple
   table.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
