 * Hi,
 * I´m using your great plugin but I need to copy some theme shortcode into the 
   table which doesn´t get interpreted. It´s shown as plain text.
 * I´m using the theme from [http://affiliseo.de/](http://www.affiliseo.de)
 * e.g. `[cmselements product_id=85 cms_element=price_box]`
 * thanks for your help.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * What exactly is not working with that Shortcode? What are you expecting to see
   and what are you getting?
    Can you please post a link to the page with the table
   where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * hhm, that’s strange. Can you try to find out if those Shortcode are regular WordPress
   Shortcodes or if they maybe us a custom implementation?
    (The theme does not 
   seem to be open source, so that I can’t check.)

 * It seems it´s a custom implementation and the developer of the theme is aware
   that there are issues with tablepress. damn…

 * Hi,
 * can you provide details of what they wrote?
    Can you find out how they implemented
   that Shortcode? I might be able to offer a suggestion to make things work.

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I think it´s best if you contact the author of the theme directly…
 * [http://affiliseo.de/support/](http://affiliseo.de/support/)
 * thanks for the support.

 * Hi,
 * sorry, this is beyond what I can offer at the moment, for time reasons. (Remember
   that they are getting paid for the theme 🙂 ). Other Shortcodes work perfectly
   fine in tables and there’s nothing that TablePress does to prevent running Shortcodes,
   so that there must be something in the theme causing this.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
