 * Hi,
 * First of all thanks for this great plugin! It really simplifies a lot.
 * Am having problems getting to set a fixed header row for my table. This is what
   I’ve done so far:
    -  Installed the datatables fixedheader plugin
       Removed all #rowspan# and #colspan#
      from table Added datatables_fixedheader=”top” in shortcode Re-enabled the “
      Use DataTables” checkbox
 * But it’s still not working. Is there something else I could be doing wrong? Here
   is a link to the page: [http://famouslawnmowers.com](http://famouslawnmowers.com)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, you could be affected by this: [http://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/](http://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/)
   
   It seems that your theme is loading the very old jQuery 1.4.2, instead of using
   the latest version that comes with WordPress.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
