 * Hello…im not sure if this is possible within TablePress…but, it would help greatly
   if you might be able to advise, or suggest the best approach for this issue I
   have..
 * My issue is I am creating a very large table of over 1,000 rows, and im trying
   to find the most efficient way to be able to link specific fields without having
   to do each one manually.
 * Is it possible to have a custom post type to automatically link from within a
   cell in TablePress?…For example, I have a column for ‘Genre’ and want to be able
   to have each specific Genre category link to its appropriate page automatically.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Sorry, but I don’t really see a way to use TablePress here. If you have multiple
   post with a Custom Post Type, you should create a Page Template maybe and then
   use a WP Query in it to generate a table. You could then also add the DataTables
   JS library for sorting, etc. manually to that.

 * I see…so Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) wouldnt work with this, right?

 * Hi,
 * no, ACF can not be used directly with TablePress.
