 * Hello,
 * I’d like to enable a vertically scrollable table like one I found on this site:
   [https://www.unavco.org/community/unavco-membership/](https://www.unavco.org/community/unavco-membership/)
 * I’ve seen in other threads to just add datatables_scrolly=100px to the shortcode
   and it doesn’t seem to work. I also saw that you need to add DataTables JS Library?
   I’m not sure how to add that but I thought it was already included.
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Normally, adding `datatables_scrolly=100px` to the Shortcode should indeed be
   enough – if the “Use DataTables” checkbox is checked on the table’s “Edit” screen.
   Can you please check that? (The checkboxes for the individual features, like 
   search and sorting, can be turned off, if they are not needed.)
 * If that still does not work, 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

 * Hello,
 * I was able to get it to work, I had the fixed header extension on but when I 
   deactivated it, it started working. Thanks!
 * I do have one additional question though, is there a limit to tablepress tables?
   I have data with more than 9500 rows and it keeps saying invalid data when I 
   try and import it
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * good to hear that it worked!
 * As for the size: There’s no limt in theory, but in practice, server ressources
   might be a restriction. In your case, my guess is that the webserver or PHP configuration
   impose limits on things like the maximum file upload size or things like “HTTP_POST_MAX_VARS”
   and such configuration variables.
    Unfortunately, there’s nothing that I can 
   do about that in TablePress, you would have to try to find out more e.g. from
   the server error log files, maybe with the help of the server administrator or
   the web host company’s support team.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
