Hi,
I believe that this is comming from a problem with the “jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries” plugin that you are using.
When inspecting your page with the Google Chrome Debugging tools, some JavaScript code of that plugin triggers a JavaScript error and that likely also causes the Sorting script to bail out.
Can you try deactivating that “jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries” plugin and test again?
Regards,
Tobias

Thanks Tobias. I deactivated and then deleted the plugin as you suggested. That got me back to showing the little arrows at the top of the columns but they’re still not sortable. And they only show up in Firefox, not IE. I then deactivated every other plugin on the page and it still didn’t work. Any other suggestions? (WP-cycle is still running right now but I did deactivate it temporarily and it didn’t change it).
Hi,
thanks for trying this. (I didn’t actually mean to delete that plugin though, but you can re-install it later of course.)
After now taking a second look at your site, I found that there is JavaScript error coming up now.
I suspect that it is coming from they way your server rewrites www .wirispe.org to wirispe.org. You seem to have some sort of redirection in place that redirects a user to wirispe.org if they type www .wirispe.org in their browsers, right?
While that is working nicely, your WordPress does not seem to really know about that and due to that some URLs of images, CSS files, or JavaScript files still have the www in them. That’s not a problem in most cases, but here it seems to be that the DataTables JavaScript library (which does the sorting and the other features) bails out due to that.
Fixing it should be easy (although I’m not an expert with that):
Please check the “Settings” panel (on the left) of your WordPress Dashboard, and go to the “General” settings there.
What do the values for “WordPress address (URL)” and “Site address (URL)” say? Do they have the www. in the URL?

Tobias
