 * Hello,
    I have been using Tablepress for sometime, with no problems.
 * But after i updatet my parent-theme i get the “Cannot reinitialise DataTable”
   on all of my pages. ive got over 50 tables on my page so its big problem for 
   me.
 * Ive read alot aoubt the problem and found that it can be a number of things. 
   but i cant find the problem.
 * I tried to deactivate all plugins, and looked at my footer and stuff, but since
   om not very good af codeing, i could have missed it.
 * I Use Elementor, to edith my page, and i dont know alot about the coding behind
   the theme and stuff like that.
 * I hope sombody can help me.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * It looks like there is custom JavaScript code to load DataTables for all tables
   on site, in the file
    /wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child-master/js/main.
   js
 * If you want to use this instead of TablePress’ implementation, you’d need to 
   uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox on all tables’ “Edit” screens.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
