 * Recently there are several problems with one of my tables created with your tool.
   Another page where I have a different table seems to be working fine. Here are
   the issues:
    1. I have the table set to sort, yet that functionality isn\’t available.
   2. Searching is also set, but that functionality is not showing up for this table.
   3. The PDF doesn\’t show the logo even though I have the logo set up in the table
   settings. 4. When you go to print, you get a \”Site cannot be reached error. 
   Please note that I have removed the functionality for 3 and 4 above because I
   don\’t want users getting errors. I also noticed the following errors in the 
   Google Developers Console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property \’mData\’
   of undefined at HTMLTableCellElement.<anonymous> (jquery.dataTables.min.js:90)
   at Function.each (jquery.js:2) at a.fn.init.each (jquery.js:2) at HTMLTableElement.
   <anonymous> (jquery.dataTables.min.js:90) at Function.each (jquery.js:2) at a.
   fn.init.each (jquery.js:2) at a.fn.init.m [as dataTable] (jquery.dataTables.min.
   js:82) at Object.initializeTable (core.js:464) at HTMLTableElement.<anonymous
   > (tables.shortcode.js:4) at Function.each (jquery.js:2) I see that this is referring
   to scripts on your site. I would prefer to maintain these scripts on my site 
   since I know it is reliable and can fix problems when they occur. Questions: 
   1. How do I fix the above problems? 2. How do I maintain the js files on my own
   server? Robin McDermott Pro user: Pro user

 * Hello, [@robinemcd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinemcd/)
    I’m sorry
   for late reply. There is probably a wrong column for sorting customized (check**
   Sorting Column** option).
 * Also, please, check the answer in the ticket of our internal support.
 * Best regards.
