 * Despite using all troubleshooting methods, including deactivating all plug-ins,
   creating a test table to see if it would function the tables stopped having a
   sort functionality and search functionality. Users are also unable to limit how
   many records per page.
 * One table is located on this page:

 * Several tables on this page:

 * I scoured the source code and was unable to find any problems. If somehow anyone
   else does please let me know. I appreciate your support. Best regards.

 * FYI this problem ONLY manifests when using Chrome, using Windows Opera and Firefox
   there was not an issue with sorting, and scrolling to new pages and searching…

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, this might be caused by the Donation Button plugin that 
   you are using. For reasons that I don’t know, it’s also loading the DataTables
   JS library and with that, it’s creating a conflict.
 * Can you please try again after deactivating that plugin, and also clearing all
   caches then?
 * Regards,
    Tobias
