 * I’m having an issue getting the TabllePress’s jQuery menu enhancements to work.
 * I’ve loaded up a table on a test page – [http://www.photocopierexperts.co.uk/test](http://www.photocopierexperts.co.uk/test)
   and although the sorting/filtering/horizontal scrolling etc have been selected
   in the tablepress settings – none are being applied to the table.
 * The site is running a modified version of the Twenty Ten theme. I noticed that
   no jQuery was being loaded, so I needed to add the necessary code in functions.
   php. The latest version of jQuery is now being loaded but the problem remains.
   I’ve tried switching off all other plugins and that didn’t solve the problem 
   either.
 * I’m sure it’s something simple that was removed when the child theme was modified.
 * Debug and Version information…

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Please remove that custom modification for loading jQuery. Doing that will most
   probably result in issues in the future.
    Instead, please check if your theme
   contains a call to the `wp_footer();` function right before the closing `</body
   >` HTML tag. From what I can see, that seems to be missing (which is the reason
   why the TablePress JS function calls, including the loading of jQuery are not
   executed).
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias – that was the problem. The `wp_footer()` code was commented out.
 * Thanks for the swift response!
