    Alrighty, been trying to troubleshoot this on my own, but I think I’m missing something.

    Trying to get a table going here: https://www.directdevelopmenttraining.com/names-journal/

    I tried all the steps in the sticky post.
    Haven’t seen any errors

    Setup was nice and easy, but it’s showing up plain, unformatted, and no DataTables functionality that I can tell. My understanding is DataTables is already installed and just needs to be enabled in the settings correct?

    I made the WP Theme from scratch so it’s likely I missed something important that’s messing this up…

    Thanks for your help! (Just gave 5-star rating for your awesome plugin and support! Thanks for all your hard work!)

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Yes ?? Unfortunately, your theme is missing the very important wp_head(); and wp_footer(); calls, which are used by almost all plugins to insert CSS and JS into the frontend.
    Additionally, you are loading your own version of jQuery, which could potentially lead to problems in the future.

    When developing themes from scratch, it’s usually a good idea to get some sort of head start, e.g. by starting with a very small template, like the “_s” theme that is endorsed by many theme developers: https://underscores.me/

    Thanks for your help, and I’ll check out that link as well.
    Adding the wp_head and removing my own jQuery call did the trick.

    Much appreciated!
