    I installed the plugin DataTables Fixed Header to make my header stick for a large table I have. The plugin is working after adjusting the table short code to include “datatables_fixedheader=”top” but The header is right at the top of the page, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to keep the header fixed but have it lower on the page so it doesn’t look so jammed in there. Can I keep the header fixed but keep the table lower on the page and not go all the way to the top?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    There is another parameter for this Shortcode that can be used to define an offset from the top:

    [table id=123 datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=60 /]

    Regards,

    Hi Tobias!

    Thank you for such a quick and helpful response. This worked, but he header stays lower, but as you scroll down, the table can be seen above the header. I guess I was hoping the entire table would be offset from the top, not just the header, but is that possible?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    yeah, the idea of this is that the script can take into account a fix navigation bar at the top of the screen.

    Unfortunately, I’m not aware of a solution where the entire table has an offset, sorry 🙁
    You could maybe check this on the webpage of the FixedHeader JS script at http://www.datatables.net/
