# Shortcode and a saved database

 * This is a neat plugin with many options to play with.
 * However I think it should act like tablepress which stores information in it’s
   own database and can be retrieved anytime using a shortcode.
 * The advantage of a shortcode means we can insert the specific product at anywhere
   in the post, not just at a fixed position. And we can include as many product
   as we can in one post.
 * Second advantage i can think of is the sidebar. Using shortcode to insert a short
   preview of reviews, like stars etc.
 * example: [http://www.apennyshaved.com/reviews/review-of-tabac-shaving-soap/](http://www.apennyshaved.com/reviews/review-of-tabac-shaving-soap/)

 * Hi,
 * Thanks a lot for the feedback and is a great idea. We will take it into consideration
   and decide how to move forward with it.

 * Without a shortcode function, now i want to disable the page from showing the
   product but there’s no option to do that.
 * I had no choice but to disable the entire plugin, or create a new page, which
   is not the best solution.

 * You should be able to disable the plugin on a specific page from the question:
   Is this post a review ?

 * There is a dropdown selection on a new post that’s not a review, but the moment
   i click “yes”, it doesn’t have option to turn off.

 * You need just to refresh the page without save.

 * I agree with WJWC. I prefer the fact that tablepress uses shortcodes that can
   be included anywhere on the cells rather thatn being restricted to a particular
   portion of the table.
 * I have used tablepress to produce _[Link redacted]_> and I’m impressed with the
   ease of building any type of table.

 * Can someone suggest other table plugins that are as good as table press? I feel
   very uncomfortable using the same table style on all of my pages and sites.
 * You can take a look at my tables _[Link redacted]_

 * Hi [@chamacs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chamacs/),
 * Unfortunately for you, the problem is not related to us and the our plugin.
 * Best regards.
