JustTables [JT_Product_Table] Shortcode

The Just-Tables shortcode, ‘JT_Product_Table’, is used to render a product table on a webpage. It requires an ‘id’ attribute which is the post ID of the product table. If the ‘id’ is not provided, the shortcode is invalid. Also, if the product table does not exist, is in the trash, or is not published and the user doesn’t have read permissions, it returns an error. If the post is password-protected, it displays the password form. Otherwise, it fetches the product table options and includes the necessary files to display the table. If the table HTML is not set or is empty, it returns an empty string.

Shortcode: [JT_Product_Table]
