    Hello,

    I am having quite a few problems on my website with tablepress since updating to wordpress 4.0. I have had some of these table up and running for over a year and now many functions are not working. From what I can see these are the problems.

    1. No sorting in the header or footer of tables
    2. No pagination or scrolling, the whole table is showing
    3. The table stretches into the sidebar
    4. No Columnfilterwidgets showing up.

    My site is https://www.besttacticalflashlights.net and I have multiple tables on a variety of different pages and this is happening on all of them. Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for all these issues is a JavaScript error. From what I can see in the JavaScript error log, the error is triggered in some functions that belong to a slider plugin.
    The error doesn’t necessarily have to be in that plugin though. It could also be possible that this is caused by the rocketscript feature that you are using from CloudFlare. Can you turn that off temporarily and check again?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    I have similar problems like gcarrington:

    But in my case the previous 4 tables still work properly. But on the 5th table the sorting and filtering is not available. Also the print and PDF icons don’t show up. And the whole table is displayed. I use

    [table id=5 datatables_tabletools_fixedheader="true" datatables_tabletools_fixedheader_headers="top" /]

    Unfortunately I can not show the site url because I’m still in the process of creating it. But Tobias, if I can send you a private note, please tell me how.

    Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Albert,

    sorry to hear that you are having issues. Most likely this is something related to JavaScript. To fix this, I’ll need to take a look at the table.
    Therefore, please send me a link to the page with the table via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”). Thanks!

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thanks Tobias,

    Turning off rocketscript in cloudflare fixed the 3-4 problems with your plug-in and others plugins that popped up since updating.. Now I just hope that the loss in speed doesnt effect SEO.

    Hi,

    that’s good to hear! ??

    To be honest, I don’t think that the Rocketscript approach brings measurable speed improvements. There are other things that can be optimized more easily for better results.
    So, you shouldn’t really have to work about effects on SEO here.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
