 * My plugin worked fine a couple of weeks ago and now every table on my site comes
   up with a warning. This is an example of a warning: DataTables warning: table
   id=tablepress-25 – Cannot reinitialise DataTable.

 * Hi,
 * thanks! It seems that for some reason the page footer is included twice in the
   HTML code.
    Can you please check if your theme’s “footer.php” file contains a
   line `<?php wp_footer(); ?>` just once (right before the closing `</body>` HTML
   tag) and not twice?
 * Regards,
    Tobias
