I apologize for the trouble. I figured out what happened. During the update, the
“Use the following features of the DataTables JavaScript library with this table:”
got checked. I unchecked that and it is back to normal.

Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
I’m not sure how that checkbox got checked (there’s nothing really in the update that could trigger that), but deactivating it will indeed fix the error. Good to hear that you already found this!
Best wishes,
Tobias
I’m not sure either, but it was checked in every table I’d created. In any event, it’s working great now!
Hi,
weird, indeed. I’ll run some checks again, but your tables should be all settled 🙂

I had exactly the same problem, and unticking the “Use the following features…” box fixed the problem, although I’m sure it was ticked deliberately and worked correctly in previous versions. I’ll try and roll back to v1.4 to see what happens.
Just ticking that features box is enough to cause the error, even if all of the individual features themselves are disabled.
1.4 is fine and doesn’t generate the error when the features are enabled.
I’m not sure the features are actually working, but it doesn’t generate an error when you load the page 🙂
Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
The DataTables JS library was updated in the new release and therefore might show error messages now where it simply failed silently before (so that one has a chance to find and fix any errors).
I would gladly like to assist in getting those features to work for you. Could you therefore please update to TablePress 1.5 again and post a link to the page where you are getting the error? Thanks!

Hi,
thanks for the link! The reason for this basically is that you are using combined/merged cells in the table (using #rowspan#). Unfortunately, the DataTables JS library does not support tables that have this, so that you’ll have to uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox to fix this error.

Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
Best wishes,
Tobias
Tobias,
I am running into this issue as well. May I email the link to you?
Hi,
yes, please email me the link (address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”).
Before that, please make sure that all caches (especially those with JS minification/concatenation, like W3 Total Cache, Minify, …) or things like CloudFront/CloudFlare are flushed.
Regards,
Tobias
