First off, thanks for the very fast and clear reply.

Secondly, I feel rather foolish for not reading the instructions clearly.

I do like your plugin and will try to read more carefully in the future before bothering you!

I deactivated ALL other plugins and this still did not work.

So I searched for another sortable table plugin and found TablePress, which does much more and actually works. I also like that TablePress lets you set up your table in the admin area and then you call it with a short code. When you need to add to the table, go back to admin and add more rows. No more convoluted and nitpicky formatting of each row in the table.

It also lets you display 10, 25, 50 or 100 rows at once with a drop box to select how many rows to display AND provides a search feature to filter down to specific requests.

It certainly doesn’t help that the author of this plugin did not even bother to reply with some suggestions.

Try TablePress; I think you will find it to be a great improvement over this plugin.

okay, I installed this on another WordPress site that has very few plugins activated and it works fine. So now I have to comb through all of my activated plugins and deactivate them all and start from scratch to find out which plugin is conflicting with this one and not allowing the table to display anything beyond the header. I only hope the conflicting plugin is not that important! ??
