# Tablepress Fixed Header

 * I downloaded the zipped plugin for the tablepress fixed header and installed 
   it in the plugins folder. Following the instructions in the document, I added
   the text to the table link as follows:
 * [table id=23 / datatables_fixedheader=top /]
 * The header does not remain static at the top of the page. As you scroll down 
   the rows, the header disappears. Is there something else that I should have done
   to make this work?
 * Thank you.

 * Hi Kathy,
 * this is actually working on your site, however, the fixed table head row is hidden
   behind the fixed top navigation bar that your site uses. Therefore, I recommend
   to add an offset from the page top, so that the header row gets fixed below that
   navigation.
    For that, please try using this modified Shortcode:
 *     ```
       [table id=23 datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=54 /]
       ```

    Tobias

 * Thank you, Tobias. I just changed the header to add the offset, but it did not
   change anything. The header remains fixed. Do you have any other suggestion? 
   Thanks very much.

 * Hi Kathy,
 * I’m now looking at the page [http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-ii-veterans-data/](http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-ii-veterans-data/)
   
   Is that the table we are talking about? Are you sure that you added the offset
   parameter to the Shortcode on that page? Right now, it doesn’t seem like it?

 * Yes, I did and also to the [http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-1-veterans-data/](http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-1-veterans-data/)
   page. Neither one of them show the header moving.

 * This is exactly what I added
 * [table id=23 / datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=54 /]

 * Hi Kathy,
 * please use the exact Shortcode that I posted above:
 * [table id=23 datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=54 /]
 * (just change the ID to 15 on the other page).

    Tobias

 * Thank you but that still made no difference. The header remains static on both
   pages I am working on.

 * Hi Kathy,
 * are you sure? When I go to [http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-1-veterans-data/](http://www.qbfhs.ca/world-war-1-veterans-data/)
   and scroll down, the table header row is nicely fixed to the top of the page,
   just below the navigation bar, so everything is working fine for me.
    Can you
   maybe clear your browser cache and try again?

    Tobias

 * Thank you. I checked both the WW 1 and WW 2 pages and they are now both working
   correctly. I appreciate your promptness in fixing these problems.
