Double tables used for Table Headers.

    Our institution has Tablepress through Add-ons with the Impreza theme. We utilize SiteImprove to scan and calculate issues on our site. While working through the “A, AA
    No data cells assigned to table header” errors I have found that the Tables displayed through Tablepress are doubled. The first table just has the headers with no data cells before the closing of the table. Then a second table is populated with the same table headers with the correct corresponding data cells. Is there a way to get this build corrected so accessibility issues are not impacted any longer or on a bigger scale than currently seen? One site has 200 tables present and I suspect this may be present on all tables through out our whole multisite domain. Please assist.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    This is caused by how the Horizontal Scrolling feature is implemented in the external JavaScript library that TablePress uses for this.
    As that’s the only feature that you are using for the table anyways, I suggest to replace it with CSS-only solution (which will not have that second header). To achieve that, please uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen. Then, to make the table scrollable again, download, install, and activate the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/ and use the modified Shortcode

    [table id=1 responsive=scroll /]

    on this page.

    Regards,
    Tobias
