Title: Problems with DataTables FixedHeader & DataTables FixedColumns Last modified: July 28, 2018 --- # Problems with DataTables FixedHeader & DataTables FixedColumns * Resolved [Chekki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chekki/) * (@chekki) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/) * Hi, * we tried for the following first table (Kleidung) _[ redundant link removed ]_ the two extensions to fix the left row and the header. But nothing works: * ``` [table id=48 responsive=scroll datatables_fixedcolumns_left_columns=1 datatables_fixedcolumns_right_columns=0 datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=60/] ``` * Do you have any idea how to fix it? Is there a solution to use only 1 extension( e.g. DataTables FixedHeader and RowGrouping)? * Thanks + best regards * Chekki - This topic was modified 8 years ago by [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/#post-10532720) * Hi, * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble. * Unfortunately, it’s not possible to use the FixedColumns and FixedHeader Extensions at the same time, as they are not compatible 🙁 (In addition, using the `responsive` parameter with one of these is not necessary.) * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [Chekki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chekki/) * (@chekki) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/#post-10532753) * Hi, * thanks for your reply. I have updated the table with the FixedColum parameter only: * `[table id=48 responsive=scroll datatables_fixedcolumns_left_columns=1 datatables_fixedcolumns_right_columns =0/]` * But it doesn´t work.

It doesn’t seem to be… * In addition, you have several tables on that page that use `#colspan#` to merge/ combine cells. Unfortunately, this is not compatible with the DataTables JS library. For these tables, you therefore must either remove all `#colspan#` or uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [Chekki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chekki/) * (@chekki) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/#post-10533120) * Great it works. 🙂 Is there no chance to fix also the header? * Furthermore: I would really appreciate it if all extensions are available in the main plugin. So we have less plugins in our backend. * Thanks Best regards * Chekki * Thread Starter [Chekki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chekki/) * (@chekki) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/#post-10533154) * Also there is a problem with the fixed column while scrolling on a mobile phone: * **No scrolling:** [](http://www.directupload.net) * **Scrolling:** [](http://www.directupload.net) * The left column will no be displayed “full”. * Do you have any idea? * Best regards * Chekki * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/#post-10533231) * Hi, * no, sorry, I’m not aware of a solution to also fix the header row here 🙁 * And adding all these Extensions to the main plugin does not make sense. The approach of using small customized plugins is much more efficient. The plain number of plugins on a site means nothing. * As for the scroll problem: Where can I see this? I can’t see this table on the page from your link?! * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [Chekki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chekki/) * (@chekki) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/#post-10533563) * Please use this link: * unaufschiebbar. de/test/ * I think the problem is the length of the title in the left corner on the top. * Hope you understand me. * Best regards * Chekki - This reply was modified 8 years ago by [Chekki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chekki/). * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-datatables-fixedheader-datatables-fixedcolumns/#post-10534235) * Hi, * that’s strange.
