Title: JavaScript error when using pagination Last modified: May 22, 2026 --- # JavaScript error when using pagination * [crowesnest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crowesnest/) * (@crowesnest) * [18 hours, 43 minutes ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-error-when-using-pagination/) * I have a table with pagination using the Tablepress plugin. I get a JavaScript error when using it with the Events Calendar plugin. Pagination will not work properly in Tablepress with the Events Calendar enabled. * “jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined( reading ‘_select’)” * If I disable the Events Calendar plugin the pagination in TablePress works okay. *  The Events Calendar works with no problems.

This is the external code library that TablePress uses to add e.g. sorting, searching, and pagination. * TablePress currently ships with the newest version 2.3.8 of that library. However,“ The Events Calendar” loads the VERY old [version 1.13.8](https://www.manitobaprairiequilters.ca/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/common/vendor/datatables/datatables.min.js). This old version then interferes with TablePress as it breaks the modern integration. In addition, it loads that despite not even printing any table or events on that page, which obviously is wasteful and bad for performance. * So, I’m afraid that this is something that will need to be fixed in “The Events Calendar”: They should not only ship a modern version of the DataTables library, but they should then also only load it if it’s actually needed on the page. * Best wishes, Tobias Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fjavascript-error-when-using-pagination%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to reply to this topic. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/icon.svg?rev=3192944) * [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) * 3 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * Last activity: [14 hours, 52 minutes ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-error-when-using-pagination/#post-18916383) * Status: not resolved
