The Buttons Don’t Show on Mobile

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

They actually don’t show on the desktop either, and neither does other JavaScript functionality on the site.
The reason for that is that something on the page is changing how the jQuery JavaScript library is loaded, namely it’s being “deferred” and loaded “async”. This however causes trouble here.
Are you aware of any performance optimization plugins on your site that could be doing that? The feature should then be turned off there.
You could also check if your theme maybe has such a setting.

Yes, Async JavaScript plugin.

I’ve tried everything I can think of to speed up my website and avoid the dreaded “Defer …” reason in GTMetrix – various bits of code and now this plugin but they all break my website somewhere. ??

Has anyone successfully solved this enigma?

Having said all that, I’ve removed said plugin and the buttons still don’t appear on mobiles ??

Hi,

ok, the async is gone, but all JavaScript files are still loaded with the defer attribute. You will also have to turn that off, I’m afraid. Again, it would be a plugin or a theme feature.

Yup, I found some code in my funcions.php. Switched that off and it now works.

Thanks Tobias

Hi,

no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!

Best wishes,
Tobias

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