Combine cells bug about tablepress

[TobiasBg]

Thanks for your report! This is really strange, and I can not reproduce this on my test sites.
Could you please check if the colspan is in the HTML code when using the "View Source" feature in Chrome? That might be different than what you see in the Developer Tools.
Can you maybepost a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Hi!

The project isn't live yet, but when it is I can send you a link to a page with the issue. Here's what the source looks like: http://cloud.jen.gs/WPzb

Thanks!

Thanks for the link! The colspan attributes seem to be missing from that table, indeed...
Just to be sure: Does this also happen with all other plugins deactivated and with a WP default theme?

Can you maybe post a link to the JSON export (or send it to me via email) that TablePress exports for this table? I could then import that on my test sites to see if I can reproduce the issue there.

Can you shed some more light on this, @germanny? I still can't reproduce this and would like to investigate this on an export, if possible, as mentioned above. Thanks!

Here's a link to a live page: http://www.medicalassistantcertification.org/states/utah/
Here's a link to the JSON export: http://cloud.jen.gs/WdW4.

Thanks!

Thanks for those, @germanny!
Now, I can still not reproduce this with that JSON export, but I found something else that is very interesting (and that I should have spotted from one of your earlier links, sorry...):
The table HTML on that page is missing all class attributes on the <td> and <th> elements as well. That indicates that something is stripping those. Are you maybe using some plugin to "clean" HTML code or are you maybe using a plugin that uses one of the plugin filter hooks that TablePress offers?

[germanny]

Aha, we are using a Tablepress extension plugin to add schema data to some tables. I will talk to the extension author about this then.

Thanks a million!!

That could indeed be causing this then. Most likely that's not taking care of something like returning the HTML tag attributes properly.
Good to hear that you found this!
