Options not sticking

Hi,

thanks for your questions! Nice to hear (and see) that the migration went so smoothly 🙂

Now, I checked your site in Chrome, Firefox, and IE, but could not reproduce the two issues that you describe. There’s nothing cut off on the right, and the last row looks fine as well (this was probably the table footer before).

Where you already able to fix the problems?

Hi,

yes, weird that the issues resolved themselves like this, but the caching is a possibility.

That other issue is even stranger, and my only idea is that it is related to one of the features of the the external DataTables JavaScript library that TablePress uses for the sorting/pagination/search features.
I assume that this is somehow caused by the “Horizontal scrolling” feature, but I’m not sure. To check this, can you please uncheck the corresponding checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen?

Thanks,
Tobias

Hi,

thanks for that! I checked the page again, and found something else that might be causing this:
There is a second JavaScript library loaded in your theme that can sort tables. So, now the “DataTables JavaScript library” (that comes with TablePress) is “fighting” the “TableSorter JS library” that your theme loads into the page. (Additionally, your theme loads a very old version of jQuery into page, which it shouldn’t be doing.)

To verify that this indeed causes the problem, can you please temporarily switch to the WordPress Default theme (Twenty Eleven) and check if the sorting then works correctly? If that is the case, we’ll have to find a way to make your theme behave nicely.

Hi,

great, thanks for testing this!

Yes, then updating the theme will be a good idea. (Note however, that it’s not so much about the version number of the jQuery library, but more about the Tablesorter library that seems to be loaded into every page automatically. So either there’s a theme option to turn this off (which would be great), or we’ll have to modify the theme, likely the header.php, to no longer load Tablesorter.)

Hi,

yes, that line and the lines

<script type="text/javascript" id="js">
$(document).ready(function() { /*-- for the Membership List */
    // call the tablesorter plugin
          $("table").tablesorter( {
          // sort on the first column and third column, order asc
        sortList: [[0,0],[2,0]] } );
});
</script>

below it, as well as the line

<script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/baynet_theme/library/scripts/jquery-latest.js"></script>

above it.

A theme update won’t be necessary then, indeed.

Hi,

the line

<script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/baynet_theme/library/scripts/jquery-latest.js"></script>

still seems to be in there. Can you remove that as well, please? (If you already have removed it, this might indeeed just be a caching issue.)

Best wishes,
Tobias
