TobiasBg on "[Plugin: TablePress] Issue with column sorting!"

Hi, Tobias!

I got a weird issue with the DataTables ColumnFilterWidgets extension.

I do get the dropdown to filter by columns just fine, but selecting a option does nothing.

I'm using this short-code on my site :
[table id="5" responsive=collapse datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=1,2,3,4/]

I've disabled all other plugins as I though it might've been a compatibility issue but nothing changed.
Tried adding the short code inside the theme instead, still the same issue.

I'm at a standstill, you got any pointers?

Best Regards

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Hi again, Tobias!

Thank you for such a quick reply, I would love to but the site is part of a intranet and can not be accessed from outside. Sorry..

You haven't heard of anything like this? just a tip as to what it could be?
I could try to setup a test site but it'll take time.

Best Regards

Hi,

ah, bummer :-( Unfortunately, I can only make guesses about the cause then :-(

Do the entries in the dropdown maybe contain ampersands &, quotation marks ", or HTML code (like HTML code for links)? Those have caused such problems in the past.

Tobias
