 * table does not appear after creating one.
    In the page editor I use the button
   to create a new table, then I click on the ‘insert shortcode’ button. I see the
   new code and click on the page publish button. On the website is the table not
   visible!!
 * I use the responsive WP theme “Vanguard” and the newest WP version.
 * what goes wrong?

 * Hi Frank,
 * thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this probable is that the Vanguard theme also contains functionality
   to create tables and also processes the `[table]` Shortcode. This interferes 
   with the TablePress Shortcodes so that no table is shown at all.
    (I know that
   this is the case for the “Mural” theme by the same theme developer, so I assume
   that “Vanguard” shows the same behavior here.)
 * My recommended way would be to check if it is possible to turn off the tables
   in Vanguard, likely in the Theme Options. If that is not possible (which is more
   likely), I suggest to change the Shortcode that TablePress uses, e.g. to `[tp_table]`,
   by using the TablePress Extension at [http://tablepress.org/extensions/table-shortcode/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/table-shortcode/)

 * Hi Tobias,
 * Thanks for your solution.
    Can you tell me where I should modify the code?

 * Hi Frank,
 * just download that Extension, and install and activate it just like a regular
   WordPress plugin. In the plugin’s PHP file “tablepress-change-table-shortcode.
   php” just change the default value of “list” to whatever you want as the Shortcode.
   I suggest to use “tp_table” to indicate that this is a TablePress (“tp”) table.

 * Hi Frank,
 * so you can see the tables now? Great 🙂
    Have fun with the plugin then!
 * And sorry again for the trouble, but due to your theme, it was necessary.
 * Best wishes,
