 * Hi Tobias,
    I love your reloaded version of Tablepress. My customers like them
   too!
 * I am having trouble though with getting the pagination feature to work. It worked
   when I initially installed the table (page 1, page 2 scroll option showed at 
   page bottom) but once I started adding data, it won’t paginate for the set amount
   of rows (8). I removed the head title (don’t like the blue bar) but I noticed
   it disabled the pagination option in DataTable section so I selected “The first
   row of the table is the table header” again.
 * How can I get the pagination feature to work again? Also, is there a way to not
   have the blue bar show in the head and footer?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this might indeed be the blue header row. This is required for
   the pagination (and the other features of the DataTables JS library) to work.
   However, we can hide it via CSS, so that this problem can be fixed.
 * Now, to find out details, please post the link to the page with the table. I’ll
   then gladly take a look and try to find out why the pagination is not working.
   
   Additionally, please double-check if the “Head row”, “Use DataTables”, and “Pagination”
   checkboxes are checked on the “Edit” screen of the table.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Yes, head row, data tables and pagination are enabled. Here is the page I am 
   working on: [http://dubeslandscaping.com/landscape-materials/pricing](http://dubeslandscaping.com/landscape-materials/pricing)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link!
 * I’ve found the reason for this issue: Your table has combined cells (via `#colspan#`).
   Unfortunately, such combined cells in a table are not supported by the DataTables
   JavaScript library that adds the pagination (and other) features.
    Therefore,
   you’ll have to decide: Either have the combined cells and not use pagination,
   or use pagination and remove all `#colspan#`. Both is not possible, unfortunately.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * PERFECT! That worked! I will need to edit the css to remove the blue bar from
   view, yes?
 * You are very responsive on your support tickets Tobias. I really appreciate it.

 * Hi,
 * great to hear that this worked!
 * Yes, to remove the blue head row, you’ll need this “Custom CSS” (to be entered
   on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress):
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 thead {
         display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * And you are very welcome for the support! If you want, you can [rate TablePress](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tablepress)
   here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias
