    Hello,

    I want to report something that I noticed regarding table filtering.
    I noticed today that table filtering was not working when I was checking a page on my site on a mobile phone.
    I couldn’t figure out why but then I remembered that I added async attributes to all javascripts on the site some time ago (to improve pagespeed score).
    Then I changed the function so it would exclude tablepress related javascripts (ColumnFilterWidgets.js and jquery.datatables.min.js) like suggested here.

    and filtering appeared again.

    Any idea why it doesn’t appear with the async attribute?

    cheers!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this is that a JS call to a function of that JS file is done directly after loading. If that is not loaded yet, this call will fail. Due to this, this JS file has to be loaded directly. Using async with this is not possible.

    Regards,
    Tobias
