    We are seeing a JS error of “jQuery.Deferred exception: aa is undefined u/</<@https://<mysite>.com/app/plugins/tablepress/js/jquery.datatables.min.js?ver=1.14:97:134”

    When I manually download a new datatables.min.js (guessing at which settings to use) and replace the contents of the existing jquery.datatables.min.js with those of the newly downloaded file, the error disappears and everything SEEMS to work OK.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    This error is not actually related to the DataTables script version.

    Instead, the problem is that your table is using the #colspan# keyword to merge/combine table cells. Such cells are however not supported by DataTables.
    In your case, everything should work fine again after removing the #colspan# keywords from all table cells.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    I apologize for wasting your time. It has been a few years and many websites ago since I built this site, and I completely forgot–as did the user–that datatables should not even be enabled for exactly that reason. At some point, they apparently forgot that, and it is indeed the pages that use such tables where the error is occurring. I use the datatables library on several other non-WordPress sites so it just did not register with me. Thanks for the fast response, as always.

    Replying again just so I can mark this resolved.
