Thanks for quick response. I’ll try over in the DataTables forums.

For curiosity, and no idea if this is related or not (other than related to datatables), but when I set up the original sort, and it had those little triangles, they extended over into the column to the right. IOW, col 1 sort triangles were at the left end of col 2, etc, and the last column’s were outside the table. But I noticed you could sort just by clicking on the heading itself. Then I stumbled across and inserted your code from another thread
.dataTables_wrapper .tablepress-id-8 .sorting div:after,
.dataTables_wrapper .tablepress-id-8 .sorting_asc div:after,
.dataTables_wrapper .tablepress-id-8 .sorting_desc div:after {
display: none;
}

to get rid of the triangles. I wasn’t seeing my situation in any threads, but this at least got rid of the visual issue. The cause was unresolved in my mind (everybody else’s triangles are nicely placed), but I’ve got a visual result that works for me.

Thanks for you quick help.

I think I’ve got my tables set up, then saw this method of scrolling vertically – which I like better than the pages of 15 rows or whatever.

However, when I tried adding the shortcode as suggested here
[table id=8 datatables_scrolly=”500px”/],
1. all the table headings got shifted to the left, so they were not aligned with their columns – until I clicked on the row, then everything lined up. (I could live with that.)

2. When I tried to “search” for items, like “equestrian”, it was ok for the first few letters, but then started dropping items. So rather than 6 rows, it ended up showing me only one or two by the time I had typed in more letters.

I’m sure there’s something simple I’m overlooking, but not sure what to search for. I’m a trail volunteer, relatively new to WordPress and coding.

Thanks.
