 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, the DataTables JS library is deactivated for the tables 
   on that page?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for that! From what I can see, your theme is evaluating calls to the `
   wp_footer();` function twice. I can see the outputs of that before the `</body
   >` tag (which is correct) and after the `</html>` tag (which is wrong).
    Can 
   you please check your theme’s “footer.php” file for that?

    Tobias

 * I am getting the same error on my test site here:
 * [http://akarittenhouse.mdudemo.com/unit-data/](http://akarittenhouse.mdudemo.com/unit-data/)
 * If I deactivate the datatables it stops, but I need those options on.
 * Thanks!

 * And, you are already correct. I had 2 wp footer calls. Nevermind!
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * yes, that second call to `wp_footer()` was it then. Good to hear that you found
   this already!
