DataTables TableTools and DataTables FixedHeader

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Hi T

here is the page https://hada.org.au/wptest/africa/

did u want the actual login or just the page?

Hi,

thanks for the link! That’s fine, I don’t need the login.

One problem that I see are some HTML <pre> tags that wrap the Shortcode.
Please go to the “Edit” screen of the page, and switch from the “Visual” to the “Text” editor. Then, remove the <pre> and </pre> around the Shortcode, so that it stands on its own line with an empty line before and after it.

Then, please check if you really added the correct Shortcode parameter there. Also, please check your theme’s “footer.php” file for a call to the WordPress function wp_footer(); right before the closing </body> HTML tag.

Tobias

Hi Tobias

I have done everything you have said and no luck.

My son may think it has to do with the Theme.

Just to confirm i have installed DataTables TableTools and DataTables FixedHeader

I have linked you to my dropbox with screenshots of all the relevant pages

Hi Louis,

from what I can see, you have turned off the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the “Edit” screen of the table. That must be turned on though for the Extension.

Hi T

turned everything on ans still nothing?

would it be the Theme itself?

Hi,

ah, as you are using the combined Extension (both FixedHeader and TableTools), you must use the Shortcode parameter datatables_tabletools_fixedheader, as explained on https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-tabletools-and-fixedheader/

ok
now it says FickedHeader 2 is not supported with Data Tables scroling at this time

what does that mean?

Hi,

that means that you’ll have to uncheck the “Horizontal Scrolling” checkbox.

Tobias

Hi T

I cant make it work,thanks for your time.

Hi,

you should then maybe start with the single Extensions first, i.e. only use https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-fixedheader/

Hi T

I have tried to get it to work but for some reason been unable.

Can I pay you to do it for me ?

I am happy to make a paypal donation of your choice for your help.

Hi Louis,

If possible, I’d like to take a direct look at this on your site. Could you therefore please create a temporary admin account for me and send me the details via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!

Regards,
Tobias

Done and thank you

Hi,

thanks!

I installed and configured the Extension on this page:
