Cannot Place wpDataTable in Tabbed Page Using SiteOrigin/Inked Tabs Widget

    Hello,

    I am using the Inked Tabs Widget from SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle to build a basic page with 4 tabs on it. When I use the table short-code to place a wpDataTable that looks and works great on its own page, it will not display. I can see that it tries because the default checkbox to display “wpDataTables” in the footer to give them credit will display, as will the table title. But, no data.

    Please help. If I can get this to work for my new site, it will be my goto table plugin and I will purchase the plugin for keeps.

    Thanks so much !

    Hi there!

    Sorry for the delayed reply.

    Are the tabs loading via AJAX? Is there a way to pre-load the content first? Can you show us the page URL?

    Thanks.

    Hi!

    I’m not sure if they load via Ajax (novice WordPress guy here), but it is a well documented plugin developer – I am using SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle (Inked Tabs Widget).

    Page URL for example is:

    http://cefrederickfamily.com/kbase/tabbed-page/

    wpDataTable tries to load on the second tab, which loads by default with that page. If you look at the 3rd tab, the one just to the right called TablePress Sample, you can see that it will load a table from my other table plugin that I use, but note that the JavaScript library features then do NOT work, like sorting, filtering, etc. So far it seems the workaround there is to abandon or disable those features and load a static table, but it does load on the tabbed page. Hopefully that helps provide some context.

    Maybe I am doing something wrong that is very simple. Any help is appreciated. I am certain that others who want to build a technical documentation website like me may want to load your tables on tabbed pages.

    I love your stuff! Nice work.

    Hi there,

    Looks like you did spot some bug there. Can you perhaps turn WP_DEBUG on for a moment just to see if there will be some error text in the place where wpDataTable should be?

    Thanks!
