 * First, thank you for this excellent plug-in. It works very well.
    I am using 
   a file manager plug-in (Download Manager) which uses custom shortcodes to create
   a download image/link. Their format is {filelink=1} and I would like that to 
   be in one column.
 * In your table-
    Column 1 would be a descriptive name, Column 2 would be the shortcode
   for the file link. Using just the shortcode displays it as text, trying to embed
   it within a link does not work either.
 * Can you advise if this is possible in your table?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the question.
 * Yes, that is easily possible. The Download Manager plugin does not use the regular
   WordPress Shortcodes, but its own custom implementation, so all you need is one
   line of code:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_table_reloaded_cell_content', 'wpdm_downloadable' );
       ```
   
 * Just paste that into the “functions.php” in your theme, and the plugin’s Shortcodes
   will work in tables.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
 * [Note: A previous version of this answer contained the wrong code. Sorry about
   that. Not it should be correct.]
