 * Hello-
 * I want my site visitors to see the headers if they are using smaller devices.
   Is there a way for the header to remain visible in the table? Is vertical scrolling
   an option in your plugin?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For this, you could take a look at the TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-fixedheader/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-fixedheader/)

 * Thanks Tobias!
 * Can this extension be used in conjunction with the responsive table extension?
   I tried using the following and the fixed header did not work: [table id=1 responsive
   =scroll datatables_fixedheader=top /]

 * Hi,
 * I’m afraid that the `scroll` mode of the Responsive Tables Extension is not compatible
   with the FixedHeader Extension, only the `collapse` mode is. (This is due to 
   limitations of the FixedHeader Extension outside of my control.)
 * Another idea, instead of using the FixedHeader Extension could be to use vertical
   scrolling in the table (which is possible if pagination is turned off). For that,
   you need a Shortcode like
 *     ```
       [table id=1 responsive=scroll datatables_scrolly=500px /]
       ```
   
 * where that 500px is the height of the scrollable table.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
