Title: [Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Unknown parameter error Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Unknown parameter error * Resolved [sturtos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sturtos/) * (@sturtos) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-unknown-parameter-error/) * Hello, * When I view a new table I imported, I am getting the following error: * “DataTables warning (table id = ‘wp-table-reloaded-id-4-no-1’): Requested unknown parameter ‘3’ from the data source for row 11” * I deleted row 11 and replaced it. I’ve also checked my css changes just in case. Unfortunately, I can’t tell what is causing this error. Any thoughts? * Thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-unknown-parameter-error/#post-2790910) * Hi, * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble that you are experiencing. Unfortunately, it’s hard for me to help without seeing the actual table and error. Can you therefore please post the URL to the page with your table where this happens? * Thanks!

The reason for these error message is the usage of the# colspan# feature together with the features of the DataTables JavaScript library( sorting, search, pagination, …). Unfortunately, these two things can’t be used together. For your tables, the best choice is to simply deactivate the DataTables library, as the features are not that necessary anyway. To do that, just go to the “Edit” screens of the tables and uncheck the “Use JavaScript library” checkboxes. * After this, the alternating row colors should also work again, as they are also influenced by that error from above. Your CSS code looks totally fine. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [sturtos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sturtos/) * (@sturtos) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-unknown-parameter-error/#post-2791010) * Thanks Tobias, much appreciated!

When you scroll down, you will see a few rows that have dark grey cells in the last column. In each of these rows, there’s a problem in the HTML for the link in the second column. In a few places, it’s a missing quotation mark `"` after the URL, and before the closing `>` of the `` tag. In some other places, there seems to be a line break after the `
