 * I changed from wp-table reloaded to Tablepress today. The documentation has been
   helpful and I have installed the TablePress Extension: DataTables TableTools 
   plugin as well.
 * I am not able to get the Data Tables JavaScript library to function.
 * The table is on [http://run2top.com/race-results/](http://run2top.com/race-results/).
   I am trying to activate the table pagination specifically.
 * Thanks Ahead of time.

 * I’m happy to announce that my issue has resolved.
 * I removed a tabs section from the page in question and that seems to have fixed
   the table conflict such that the Data Tables JavaScript library is functioning
   again. I do not know what was specifically causing the problem. There was no 
   issue with the WP Table Reloaded plugin.

 * Hi Alan,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble. Great to hear that you were 
   already able to fix it!
 * The reason for this issue is very likely a JavaScript conflict between the DataTables
   JS library and the Tabs plugin that you were using.
    It probably didn’t happen
   in WP-Table Reloaded because that uses an old version of DataTables.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
