TablePress Search box not appearing

  • Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    From what I can see, this is caused by your theme. It is loading its own (and very old) copy of the jQuery JS library (the file /wp-content/themes/Pang/js/jquery.js) instead of using the up-to-date version that ships with WordPress. This is a very bad practice (and actually prohibited for themes that are in the official WordPress theme repository).
    You should therefore check if the theme developers also offer a proper version that does not do this. Otherwise, you’ll have to look into fixing this problem yourself, e.g. with these pointers: https://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/

    (Note that this is not just a problem with TablePress, but with other plugins on your site as well. Using the error log console in the browser, I can see multiple JS errors that are caused by this problem in the theme.)

    Regards,

    Hi Tobias

    Thanks for the quick and detailed response! I figured it was something like that, our theme is very old. Anyway, we will probably just start looking for a new, updated theme to replace what we have now. Until then, I used your suggestion to edit our Header.php file and it serves well as a fix for now!! So, thanks again! You’ve got a great plug-in, we are very appreciative of your hard work ??

    Best,
    Brandon

    Hi,

    no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!
    Yes, a new theme is of course also an option here!

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
