 * Hi at all,
 * i have installed tablepress and the tablepress frontend editor (tinyeditor).
 * I have two tables with differnt id’s on the same page.
 * If I try to edit a field in the frontend and click on Save Table I get the following
   error message:
 * DataTables warning: table id=tablepress-4 – Cannot reinitialise DataTable. For
   more information about this error, please see [http://datatables.net/tn/3](http://datatables.net/tn/3)
 * Furthermore I can not edit the second table. If I click on “Turn on editing”,
   always the first table is editable.
 * Third problem: My tablepress cursor is a middle finger. Why?
 * Can me help someone with this?
 * Thanks a lot

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Unfortunately, I can not really help with TinyEditor problems, as that was not
   developed by me. You might need to contact its author or support team here.
 * That said, that DataTables error might have other causes. Can you please post
   a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take
   a direct look? Thanks!
 * As for that middle finger: I really have no clue where that’s coming from, but
   it’s definitely not TablePress!
 * Regards,
    Tobias
