Table with pagination enabled first loads entire table content

    Hello,

    I installed TablePress on my website. It works pretty well. There is only a problem in one of my tables. In this table I use pagination to divide content into multiple pages.

    The problem is, when I visit the table the entire table is loading. After a few seconds (and after loading the entire table) the table gets divided into multiple pages.

    On the demo it shows a table which is directly loaded in multiple pages (not first the entire table content).

    Can someone help me? I’ve already searched around and tried to deactivate/delete and reactivate/reinstall the plugin.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this basically is that your table contains very many entries, so that it simply takes a little bit of time for the JavaScript to be fully executed.
    The demo page shows the same behavior, but as the table there is much smaller, it’s not noticable.

    With the current way of how the plugin works, there’s nothing really that can be done about this. If this really annoys you, you’ll have to manually load the DataTables JS library (which is the JS library that TablePress uses for the pagination, from http://datatables.net/ ), and use it’s server side processing. This will however also require a custom backend, as that mode can not yet be used with TablePress.
    Sorry for not having better news here.

    Regards,
    Tobias
