Tablepress Fixed Header

    I downloaded the zipped plugin for the tablepress fixed header and installed it in the plugins folder. Following the instructions in the document, I added the text to the table link as follows:

    [table id=23 / datatables_fixedheader=top /]

    The header does not remain static at the top of the page. As you scroll down the rows, the header disappears. Is there something else that I should have done to make this work?

    Thank you.

    Hi Kathy,

    this is actually working on your site, however, the fixed table head row is hidden behind the fixed top navigation bar that your site uses. Therefore, I recommend to add an offset from the page top, so that the header row gets fixed below that navigation.
    For that, please try using this modified Shortcode:

    [table id=23 datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=54 /]

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you, Tobias. I just changed the header to add the offset, but it did not change anything. The header remains fixed. Do you have any other suggestion? Thanks very much.

    Hi Kathy,

    I’m now looking at the page http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-ii-veterans-data/
    Is that the table we are talking about?
    Are you sure that you added the offset parameter to the Shortcode on that page? Right now, it doesn’t seem like it?

    Yes, I did and also to the http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-1-veterans-data/ page. Neither one of them show the header moving.

    This is exactly what I added

    [table id=23 / datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=54 /]

    Hi Kathy,

    please use the exact Shortcode that I posted above:

    [table id=23 datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=54 /]

    (just change the ID to 15 on the other page).

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you but that still made no difference. The header remains static on both pages I am working on.

    Hi Kathy,

    are you sure? When I go to http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-1-veterans-data/ and scroll down, the table header row is nicely fixed to the top of the page, just below the navigation bar, so everything is working fine for me.
    Can you maybe clear your browser cache and try again?

    Thank you. I checked both the WW 1 and WW 2 pages and they are now both working correctly. I appreciate your promptness in fixing these problems.
