 * TABLEPRESS – The Datatable Button Extension does not seem to be working. The 
   Extension is activated.
 * I entered [table id=5 datatables_buttons=”print” /] on the page where the table
   is. The table with data displays…but, the “Print” button does not show.
 * Please help.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens,

 * Hi,
 * thanks! Can you please extend the Shortcode on that page by adding another parameter:
   `
   shortcode_debug=true` After that, you should see a list of settings below the
   table. Can you please post those here then?

 * I’m not exactly sure where to add the code you sent.
 * Please send the entire string and I’ll edit the page as you request.
 * Currently is: [table id=5 datatables_buttons=”print” /]
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * ok, can you post what you see below the table? (I can’t see it, because it’s 
   only visible for logged-in users.)

 * Hi,
 * ok, I have a feeling that the quotation marks for the other parameter are somehow
   wrong.
 * Can you please try copy/pasting the command exactly like this again:
 *     ```
       [table id=5 datatables_buttons="print" /]
       ```
   
 * Also, please do this in the “Text” and not the “Visual” editor of the “Edit” 
   screen of the page.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * This did not help either.
 * Does the “Use Datatables JavaScript Library checkbox need to be checked? I unchecked
   it because I did not want the features listed below it.

 * Hi,
 * yes, please try checking that checkbox then. You can uncheck the individual features
   that you don’t want.

 * Success…so it appears the box must be checked.
 * Thanks…
