WooCommerce Shortcodes Break in TablePress

    This question is similar to https://wordpress.org/…/woocommerce-shortcodes-in-table-entries, which was marked resolved.

    My client has two extensive TablePress tables containing WooCommerce products. After a recent series of core and plugin updates, the Add To Cart links in the tables stopped working, and now go to 404 pages. We use the add_to_cart_url shortcode in links like this <a href="[add_to_cart_url id="3855"]">.

    Has anything changed with WooCommerce or TablePress that would cause a conflict between these two plugins? Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks all!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this is a recent change in WordPress (thus, it’s totally unrelated to WooCommerce and TablePress), about how Shortcodes work when they are placed inside other HTML code (like a link). For various reasons, this can have security implications, which is why the behavior was changed.
    For more details, please see https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/23/changes-to-the-shortcode-api/

    From what I can see, the “Shortcodes with Bad Quotes” section of that post applies to your Shortcodes, so that the suggested workaround might help.

    Regards,
    Tobias
