Creating a table from shortcode avoiding wpautop for each row

The extra space comes from wpautop(), which inserts <br /> on every line break. You have to strip these out before calling do_shortcode(). Additionally, use add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘shortcode_unautop’ );. From my experience, you need both. Probably a bug. See my shortcode plugin for an example. It has shortcodes for tables too.

Try this: function myshortcode_cb( $atts ) { $atts = shortcode_atts( array( ‘cat’ => ”, ‘title’ => ” ), $atts ); // var_dump($atts); // debug return “{$atts[‘cat’]} :: {$atts[‘title’]}”; … Read more
