 * This happens semi-frequently. ​​The error is below:
 * “DataTables warning: table id = table_1 – Cannot reinitialize DataTable. For 
   more information about this error, please see ​https://datatables.net/tn/3/​”
 * ^^ And then that link produces a 404
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-cannot-reinitialize%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
    Can you please include a relevant link?
 * Generally, it seems that the JS script is loaded twice on your page for some 
   reason, can you please explore that?

 * Yes, this is one of the pages where is happens: [https://www.screeninnovations.com/screen/zero-g/](https://www.screeninnovations.com/screen/zero-g/)
 * There are multiple tables being loaded in the “Materials” tab.
 * To which JS script are you referring? I can see that wdt.frontend.min.js is only
   loaded once.
 * Thanks,

 * Might this be because I am loading multiple tables at a time? Or in a tab?
