 * Hello,
 * I’m using a plugin called “Tippy” within the cells on my tablepress. For some
   reason, every few hours, the plugin stops working and I have to go to tablepress
   and re-save my table. Do you know why this would be happening?
 * Please help! I’ve had to refresh my table 5 times a day to keep it running.
 * Thank you,
    -Jordan

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This sounds as if the TablePress table output caching is not working nicely with
   the JS loading process of Tippy. To fix this, please extend your table’s Shortcode
   to
 *     ```
       [table id=123 cache_table_output=false /]
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Today, I successfully used the combination of TablePress plugin version 1.1.1,
   Tippy plugin version 6.1.1 and WordPress 3.6.1 and the above fix. I successfully
   tested it with the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Thank you very
   much for the fix! I didn’t have this issue when using WP-Table-Reloaded plugin,
   so am thankful that you have a fix for TablePress.
 * Here is how the table now looks with TablePress and Tippy. Just hover-over any
   link in column one of either of the two tables on this Compare page. It makes
   a good demo of the combination of TablePress and Tippy.

 * Another symptom of this issue is that TablePress and Tippy render just fine when
   logged-in as administrator, but the cells that have Tippy shortcodes in them,
   did not render (just showed as blank cells) when viewed as a normal visitor to
   your site. Originally, I didn’t notice the issue since I did all my testing using
   Visit Site while logged into the site. I didn’t notice the issue until I logged
   out of the site.
 * By the way, in looking for a solution, when I did a search for Tippy within:
 * [http://tablepress.org/support/](http://tablepress.org/support/)
 * I got Nothing Found. So, I would suggest that you add an entry in your support
   page that includes the above fix when using Tippy shortcodes. I had to do a Google
   search to find your, above, fix, since I couldn’t find it on your support page.
   This might help other people find the solution quicker.
 * Thanks, again, for an awesome plugin.

 * Hi,
 * good to hear that this is working now with that adjusted parameter. The symptom
   that this worked fine when being logged-in confirms this, as logged-in users 
   don’t use the cache.
 * And thanks for the suggestion about adding this to the FAQ on the TablePress 
   website! I’ll put that in when I do the next round of updates on that.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
 * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please [rate TablePress](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tablepress)
   here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
