 * I am doing a web page with several tables and I really like your plugin. Mi issue
   comes with the filter, it is not working how it is supposed to. It creates a 
   filter for each column, but the first column filter doesn’t detect any information.
   It shows in the dropdown but when I select any of the options it says it cant
   find any result. The other filter do work. Please help
 * Thanks for creating an awesome plugin

 * Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens,
   so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link!
    That’s really strange, and I can’t really see why this 
   happening…
 * Just to rule out any interference, can you try again after temporarily deactivating
   the FooTable plugin?

 * Hello, it works great when I deactivate the FooTable Plugin. Do I leave it off?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for testing this! You could either leave it turned off, or (which is to
   prefer if you want to use FooTable for other tables) turn off its TablePress 
   integration. It should have a setting on its options screen for this, from what
   I know.
