 * Hello,
    I have been using DataTables for sometime; have 3 tables all within the
   same page (desktop, tablet, mobile view). I recently included WPML to my site.
   Since then, not knowing if it is genuinely related, I am receiving the following
   message: DataTables warning: table id=tablepress-3 – Cannot reinitialise DataTable.
   For more information about this error, please see [http://datatables.net/tn/3](http://datatables.net/tn/3)
 * To my tables I have included some Custom Commands: “columnDefs”: [ { “visible”:
   false, “targets”: [ 4, 8 ] }, { “orderData”: [ 4 ], “targets”: [ 3 ] }, { “orderData”:[
   8 ], “targets”: [ 7 ] } ], “lengthMenu”:[[15,-1],[15,”All”]]
 * These commands weren’t configured a while ago and have not been touched since.
   
   Would you have an idea why I am receiving this message and how I may resolve 
   it? Thanks, Marianna

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This is a problem in your theme. It looks like it’s loading and integrating its“
   footer.php” file twice.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
