Title: [Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Table not displaying Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Table not displaying * Resolved [jgrosso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgrosso/) * (@jgrosso) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/) * I am using Wp 3.1 and WP Table Reloaded 1.9.1. I have a table on the following page I am working on( [http://executrans1.com/wordpress/?page_id=141](http://executrans1.com/wordpress/?page_id=141)) and yet the table does not display. I have used WP-Table Reloaded (which is an AWESOME plugin btw) on other sites without issue so I am not sure what would be causing this. Might you be able to help? Thanks in advance! * -Jason Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005259) * Hi Jason, * this likely is a theme issue. I have a feeling that the theme is not using the WordPress template tag `the_content()` correctly on that page. Is that page maybe using a custom page template? * Also, could you temporarily try with the WordPress Default Theme “TwentyTen”, to see if it works there? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [jgrosso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgrosso/) * (@jgrosso) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005276) * Tobias, you would be correct. The template is using a custom page template. Any ideas how to get it to work? Ill try it with twentyten, however my suspicion is it will work fine on that one just like it has worked fine on numerous templates in the past. BTW, AWESOME plugin ya made! * -Jason * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005281) * Hi Jason, * ok, thanks for checking this. * The solution basically depends on what the page template uses to display the content on the page. Does it use the template tag, or does it directly use a property of the `$post` variable in the loop? * Can you post the PHP code of the page template in a pastebin at [http://www.pastebin.com?](http://www.pastebin.com?) * Regards, Tobias * [avirulence](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avirulence/) * (@avirulence) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005314) * I’m sorry if I’m hijacking this thread/question, but I feel my problem is (very) closely related. * My ‘theme’, which is actually a plug-in that creates a static page for viewing my blog on mobile devices, uses this to get the content: * $content = get_the_content(); $content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content); * Shouldn’t this be enough to get the tables to display? I mean, shortcodes from other plug-ins are replaced by the correct code, but shortcodes referring to tables are not replaced at all. * Do we need to apply a different filter? * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005315) * Hi, * thanks for your question. * Yes, this should actually render all Shortcodes and replace them with content. * WP-Table Reloaded is in that regard however a little “special”, as it only registers its Shortcodes when the site (i.e. WordPress) is being access from the frontend. I have a feeling that in your case, that plugin creates the static pages through accessing the backend. Otherwise I don’t really see why the table Shortcodes are not replaced. * Can you somehow check this? What does a call to `is_admin()` that is placed in the vicinity of the lines you posted return? * Regards, Tobias * [avirulence](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avirulence/) * (@avirulence) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005316) * Hi Tobias, * Indeed, it returns 1. Is there a way to ‘force’ WP-Table Reloaded to replace the shortcode? * Thanks for your answer, * Sander * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005317) * Hi, * ok, thanks for checking this. That explains, why this is happening, the Shortcodes are simply not registered. * To have them registered, you will need to load and instantiate the Frontend controller class. This might be as easy as modifying the main file “wp-table-reloaded.php”, by modifying the `if (is_admin())` conditional to load the frontend part regardless of the conditional. (I have however not tried this, so I don’t know what might be happening 🙂 ) * Regards, Tobias * [avirulence](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avirulence/) * (@avirulence) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005318) * Well, my server just exploded… * Nah 🙂 it worked! * Thanks a lot! * Sander * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005319) * Hi Sander, * awesome, good to hear that it was so simple! 🙂 * And thank you very much for your donation, I really appreciate it! * Best wishes, Tobias * [Interpolat Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmdziba/) * (@jmdziba) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005390) * Hi Tobias * I seem to be having a similar issue but I do not understand how to resolve it from this thread. I wrote to you not too long ago because I am running a Studiopress child theme (Church) on the Revolution Framework ([http://www.studiopress](http://www.studiopress)). I had written to you because I could not get the donation can shortcodes to work with WPTR. The solution was to add add_filter( ‘wp_table_reloaded_cell_content’,‘ donation_can_content_filter’ ); * to my functions.php file. Everything seemed to work fine after that, but this morning, I checked the site and the tables are not displaying on the front end. I can see the table content, but it also does not display when I click the preview button on the WordPress back-end/dashboard. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005391) * Hi, * what are you seeing instead of the table? Can you provide a link to a page where this is happening? * Regards, Tobias * [Interpolat Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmdziba/) * (@jmdziba) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005392) * I just see the table cells with no content in them, although the content is there in the dashboad (but is also not viewable through the preview button). * [http://www.antiochlex.org/ministries/womens-ministry/](http://www.antiochlex.org/ministries/womens-ministry/) and [http://www.antiochlex.org/give/](http://www.antiochlex.org/give/) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005393) * Hi, * thanks for the links! * That’s interesting! Basically it means that the `donation_can_content_filter` function that we used to get the Shortcodes to work has changed its behavior. Did that plugin maybe get an update? * (And just to be sure: Are you using any other plugins that somehow use WP-Table Reloaded?) * Regards, Tobias * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005394) * Hi, * me again. I just took a look at the development log of Donation Can and it looks like the new version from a few days ago has been entirely rewritten. The plugin does now use regular WordPress Shortcodes and no longer needs that workaround with the * ``` add_filter( 'wp_table_reloaded_cell_content', 'donation_can_content_filter' ); ``` * So, just remove that, and you should see the contents of the table again. And on top, the [donation-can] Shortcode should work out of the box 🙂 * Best wishes, Tobias * [Interpolat Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmdziba/) * (@jmdziba) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-table-not-displaying/#post-2005395) * You are the greatest, Tobias. That worked. Thank you.
