Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
Most likely, there’s a JS problem somewhere, and we should be able to find that. Another common reason for this: These features will not work in tables that use the “colspan” or “rowspan” feature to combine cells. Is that maybe the case for your table?
Unfortunately, I couldn’t take a direct look, as the link you posted only gives me a Not found error 🙁

Sorry about that I just deleted the page it’s back up now!
Is that configurable through the plugin (colspan/rowspan)
ps: thanks so much for your quick reply…probably the most prompt wp plugin support I’ve ever gotten!
and just checked. col/row not enabled. When I try to enable I get a warning either way saying its not compatible with datatables
Hi,
thanks, now the link is working.
With the rowspan/colspan: Yes, there’s a warning, but I wanted to rule it out.
Anyway, the reason for the problem should be the theme. As it seems, there’s no call to
wp_footer();
right before the closing HTML </body> tag in the theme’s “footer.php” file.
Could you please check that?
Regards,
Tobias
As you can tell im a n00b when it comes to development but I did a ctrl+f on the footer.php and there’s no instance of wp_footer. If you could walk me through what I need to do that would be so greatly appreciated. Here are the lines before </body> in footer.php
<script type=”text/javascript”>
setTimeout(function(){var a=document.createElement(“script”);
var b=document.getElementsByTagName(“script”)[0];
a.src=document.location.protocol+”//dnn506yrbagrg.cloudfront.net/pages/scripts/0014/8113.js?”+Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/3600000);
a.async=true;a.type=”text/javascript”;b.parentNode.insertBefore(a,b)}, 1);
</script>
</body>
hahah sweet! Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction.
added this
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
and it works!
You Are AWESOME
Hi,
thanks for finding this.
Please perform these modifications:
– Remove the entire portion from <script... to </script>. This is some JavaScript tracking code that should not be used (unless you put it there on purpose and know what you are doing).
– Then, add this before the </body> tag:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>

Hi,
ah, great 🙂 Good to hear that you were successful, already 🙂
Have fun with the feature and with TablePress then!
Best wishes,
Tobias
P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
I most definitely will. thanks a lot!
Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂
And thanks for the rating, I really appreciate it!
Best wishes,
Tobias
No problem! I actually have one more question for you if you don’t mind – Is there anyway to populate the search box with instructions (i.e ‘search a city, postal code or name’ etc.)
Hi,
you could change the actual string from “Search” to something else with the TablePress Extension from http://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/
With your example, it might make more sense to simply add this as text above the table though.

Tobias
