DataTables Warning – Cannot reinitialise DataTable

    For some reason, after updating TablePress & WP, I am getting the following warning:

    DataTables warning: table id=tablepress-4 – Cannot reinitialise DataTable. For more information about this error, please see https://datatables.net/tn/3

    The strange thing is, the warning only appears when NOT logged in to Admin. When logged in – no warning when viewed on same device.

    I have deactivated/reactivated all other plugins with no change.

    The tables do contain shortcodes w quotation marks for the WP Simple Shopping Cart – but deactivating this plugin did not stop the errors.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this could be that your theme is loading its own (but very outdated) version of the jQuery JS library, instead of using the up-to-date one that ships with WordPress.
    For details on this, please see https://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/
    I suggest to fix that in the theme, so that the correct version is used.

    Then, as your tables are pretty small: Do you actually want the JS features on these tables? If so, they should work after the fix from above. If not, I suggest to simply turn them off, which will also get rid of the error message.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you so much for your SPEEDY reply. My customer had turned on the JS features – I did not notice. Thanks – easy fix.

    Hi,

    no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!
    You should still fix that wrong version of the jQuery library in the theme (with the suggestions from my link from above). Otherwise, you’ll be running into issues like this again in the future, also with other plugins.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
