I’m having audio issues with the WP 3.6 release. I posted on the alpha/beta forum. Maybe try upgrading to 3.6 and see if it resolves your issue? If not, stay with 3.6 and post to the alpha/beta forum. Maybe you’ll have better results there.

Instead of updating the plugin, I uninstalled it then did a fresh download of ver 3 and its working now.

This is the error I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_page_permastruct() on a non-object in [path]/link-template.php on line 271

Hi,

Thinking of something else that might assist with this issue. Datatables in TablePress, as I understand it, just enhances an already existing html table. That would be 1 of 3 methods that datatables works (according to their website). The 2nd method would be with javascript arrays. Is that something that TablePress can do?

Hey Tobias,

I’ve still had this problem with the audio players not working in iDevices, so I reached out to the DataTables author on his forums. This was my question:

I’m using the plugin TablePress on my website. I have a table populated with music players and other info which can be seen here: https://thetracksmiths.com/beats/bap-adapt/. For whatever reasons, the music player does not work on iPhones or iPads. It IS working on android devices.

When I tell TablePress not to use DataTable’s functionality (in my case, pagination, sorting, and search), the players work fine on the iDevices. What could possibly cause this? I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

This was his response:

I’m afraid I don’t know what would cause that. The only thing I can guess, is are you initialising the music player in fnInitComplete? (I don’t know how TablePress works, it might/might not have that option?).

I’m wondering if the music player is trying to initialise while the nodes are not on the page.

Any idea what fnInitComplete is??? Thanks!

Just tried this and it’s still the same thing :/ I got all excited for a second!

I’m glad you’ve found something that was different. Hopefully it will lead to a solution. I appreciate your efforts!

I have the plugin disabled. I think that shortcode works with wordpress 3.6 as is. Remember, wordpress ended up integrating that plugin I was using as their audio & video backbone.

Ok, this page has a new table on it with the players outside of the table. They work on the iPad. Weird, because I thought I put players outside my first table and they didn’t work…

In any case, this page has the players inside the table which won’t work.

Excellent. I’m all upgraded here. Let me know if you end up finding anything. Weird that this is an iPad only issue.

The audio player is a plugin, however, it’s the plugin that became the backbone native audio & video player in 3.6. I’m going to upgrade to 3.6, deactivate the plugin (since it’s part of WP 3.6 now) and we can take it from there.

Ok, just disabled all plugins (except the table and the audio player) AND switched to the 2011 theme. Still the same thing. I’m going to put everything back the way it was.

Also, if I updated to 3.6, will that prevent you from troubleshooting? Or for now, should I just stay on 3.5.1?

Yes. With that turned off, the plugin plays fine. I know you once checked for JS conflicts and found it with my theme. Are you able to do the same? I’ve re-enabled “Use DataTables.”

And like I said, the plugin works fine just not with a table on the page (either IN the table or OUTSIDE of it).

I changed the shortcode to what you proposed above and it’s still not working. Uggg. Have you been testing TablePress with wordpress 3.6 by any chance? I know that release will have native audio and video support, so maybe that will help.
