 * Hi samuelk2019,
 * I am not sure what you mean by ‘saved as a wordpress page’ – do you mean you 
   are copying the Table HTML into the text editor of a WordPress page/post?
 * If possible can you give us a link to the original (that renders correctly) and
   a link to the wordpress version you set up?

 * Try removing the whitespace and linebreaks from the Javascript. WordPress inserts
   line breaks and those will break Javascript. Use the developer tools in [Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools)(
   or [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/)) or [Chrome](https://developers.chrome.com/devtools/)
   or [Safari](https://developer.apple.com/safari/tools/) or [IE](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh673541(v=vs.85).aspx)
   to check for Javascript errors in the console.

 * Mark, does the whitespace and linebreaks causes this issue? i think the issue
   is due to conflict between the scripts and styles with theme vs data table style
   and script. i think that the data table is not rendering due to conflict with
   
   the script and styles between twenty sixteen theme and data table script and 
   styles.
 * The solution is we need to properly resolve by enque and registering the scripts/
   styles.

 * 1. Can you please help me with a code snippet which needs to be inserted on the
   word press page on how to enqueue the scripts for the single page ?
 * 2. Do we need to add the enqueue with <? php or under the head tag in the html
   tag
    of the word press page.
 * An example with JS fiddle with source code will of great help…

 * That’s why I said to learn how to use the dev tools in browsers to find jQuery
   errors.
 * The articles you linked give you what you need to learn about correctly enqueueing
   scripts into WordPress. Follow those.
