 * Hi,
 * For some reason, when I paste the WP Tables shortcode and go to the published
   post it only appears: “here will be a table”. I’ve tried with several tables 
   and it always happens the same.
 * Could anybody tell me how to fix it?
 * Thank you!!!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-here-will-be-a-table%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@lahormig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lahormig/),
 * Thank you for the question.
    It seems that you are using Autoptimize plugin and
   there are some compatibility issues with WP Tables. I will take a look and publish
   the fix today or tomorrow. As a workaround, you can try to configure Autoptimize
   to include JS scripts in the header instead of the footer.
 * I will update you soon. Hope it helps.
 * Regards,
    Ian

 * I have the same issue. I have enabled “Force JavaScript in <head>?” in Autoptimize
   but this has not resolved the issue. Do you want me to post the page link here?
   
   Many thanks Justin

 * Hello Justin,
 * Yes, you can include a link to your page. I will then check and publish an update.
   
   Hope it helps.

 * Hi Ian,
 * Thank you for your post. The page url is below:
 * [http://www.jademinternational.com/lbm/members/](http://www.jademinternational.com/lbm/members/)
 * This is a test site. The select statement etc all works fine and return results
   etc. but just wont return results in the web page. Unfortunately we need Autoptimize
   to bring up site speed for the live site.
 * If you need anything else, be sure to let me know.
 * Thank you

 * I see `jQuery is not defined` on the browser console. When looking at the (both
   autoptimized and not autoptimized) page source you seem to be using [https://github.com/getify/LABjs](https://github.com/getify/LABjs),
   which loads `js/jquery/jquery.js` by LAB-javascript in the footer. So you could
   either configure LAB to load wptables’ JS after the dependencies are loaded OR
   you could exclude `js/jquery/jquery.js` from LAB.
 * hope this helps,

 * Hello [@radiusbenders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/radiusbenders/),
 * Thank you for giving me some time.
    I just have published the update that should
   fix the issue with jQuery in the footer. Please update and let me know if it 
   works for you.

 * Hi Ian,
 * Thanks for your prompt work and your assistance.
 * I’ve updated the plugin and I’m still getting the same results i.e. the query
   is does not seem to be running.
 * As I mentioned earlier, this is a test site, and I’d be prepared to give you 
   temporary admin access if that will help with your investigations. If that will
   help, I would need an email address when creating a login for you.
 * I also noted the comments in the post above from Frank. jquery.js has already
   been excluded in Autoptimize (so I’m not sure it’s quite that simple).

 * Hi Ian,
 * I had a little time to play today and I have some updated information.
 * We use a plugin called “WP deferred javaScript”. If I specifically deactivate
   this plugin, the page loads correctly with the table. Inside the plugin I tried
   to exclude js/jquery/jquery.js, but this did resolve the issue. It is only if
   the plugin is deactivated altogether that the page loads.
 * This is one of the plugins we use to bring up our site speed. If you look at 
   our live site (letterboxman.com.au) you will find that we achieve excellent speed(
   according to Google).
 * Thanks
    Justin

 * Hello Justin,
 * Thank you for the details.
    I have installed `WP deferred javaScript` and added
   compatibility with it to WPTables 1.3.5. It should work well now. Please update
   and let me know.
