# No interactivity on Tablepress table

 * Hello,
 * For a while now, i have been puzzled by how difficult it is to add the interaction
   features (like a search bar or a sorting filter) to some of the tables on my 
   site using this plug in.
 * I’ve watched many videos on YouTube on how people do it and it pretty much works
   as soon as you check the ‘Enable sorting of the table by the visitor.’ & ‘Enable
   the visitor to filter or search the table. Only rows with the search word in 
   them are shown.’ boxes.
 * I checked out this post [https://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/](https://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/)
   and i did get a error stating “Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
   at (index): 1327.
 * The post suggested that i find specific jquery tags and remove them but I could
   not find these tags in both the functions.php file and headers.php file.
 * Genuinely puzzled on how to solve this problem. Any help is appreciated.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * 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!
 * The cause for this is over-aggressive optimization of JavaScript code on your
   site, by some ezoic plugin that your site seems to be using. From what I can 
   see, this is creating JavaScript errors on the site, due to which the browser
   will stop evaluating other plugin’s JavaScript code, including that from TablePress.
   
   Please try again after temporarily turning that ezoic plugin off.

 * Hey,
 * yea that didnt work. After contacting ezoic they told me that they “render static–
   i.e. we do not change – pages on your back end.” So it can’t be the javascript
   code from Ezoic.
 * Furthermore, i replicated this table on to a different site that does not have
   ezoic on it and there is still no interactivity on it (ii did check all the boxes)
 * Here’s the new example: [https://www.cooperkickboxing.com/guides/test/](https://www.cooperkickboxing.com/guides/test/)

 * Hi,
 * in their reply, they talk about the “back end”, but we are dealing with a front
   end issue here.
 * On your new site, the problem is that the “jQuery” library is not enqueued/loaded
   for some reason. Can you therefore please try again after temporarily deactivating
   all other plugins and after switching to a WordPress default theme like Twenty
   Twenty? That way, we can find what’s causing this.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
