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, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
Regards,
Tobias
Hi,
thanks for the link! The problem is coming from the combined cells in the last column. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the DataTables JS library in tables that have combined cells. You will either have to remove all #rowspan# and #colspan# from the table, or turn off DataTables by unchecking the “Use DataTables” checkbox.
Regards,
Tobias

separate issue but since the update the datatables css classes seem to have changed so custom css for classes like .dataTables_paginate .paginate_disabled_previous no longer work.
my pagination buttons aren’t showing at all unless I turn off the string replace extension where I have the next & previous buttons replaced to show nothing at all.
might be worth just listing the class changes on here for easy updating if time
Hi,
(next time, please open a new thread, as this is indeed a separate issue).
Yes, the CSS classes for the pagination have changed, as a result of TablePress now shipping with the latest version 1.10.4 of the DataTables JS library (see http://datatables.net/upgrade/1.10 for notes on this).
For the new CSS classes, I suggest to take a look at the css/default.css file in TablePress, which shows how they are used for the regular coloring, etc. For an example, you can also take a look at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/color-for-pagination-arrows-next-previous-problem
Now, you mention some string replace Extension that you have been using on those CSS classes. Can you please explain what exactly you are trying to achieve with that? Maybe I can suggest a different way to achieve that.

Tobias

thanks, I’ve begun working out the changes using firebug too see the new classes.
the plugin’s just the Change DataTables strings one from your website – before the update I was using it to hide the next & previous words from the pagination since I couldn’t work out any way to target the words but leave the icons with css. it will probably all work when I’ve sorted out the new css I’d imagine.
thanks
Hi,
ah, ok, thanks for the clarification! So, in summary, you want the pagination without the words, but just with the arrow icons?
Then, the Change DataTables Extension is the best way to remove the words, indeed. Note that that was also updated, so I suggest to re-install it from a fresh download.
For the colors, just use the CSS code from my reply at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/color-for-pagination-arrows-next-previous-problem

hmm, I have v1.2 already which is the latest I can see, but I did only set up a few days ago, so perhaps that came before the tablepress update.

I’m all back to normal now – the Change Datatables extension wasn’t working, but I discovered typing words back in worked whilst empty quotes didn’t – so I just put a space like ” ” instead of “” in all my language files for next & previous & first & last.
Thanks – TablePress is mega by the way & you’re very fast on the support!
Hi,
yeah, it could be possible that empty strings don’t work for the strings. Using a single space should be the best then.
Good to hear that everything is working! 🙂
Best wishes,
Tobias
Ok my issue is resolved. Will remove the merged cells.
Hi,
thanks for the update! Yes, that will be the best solution here.
Best wishes,
Tobias
