 * I get the following error message when the dataTables is active.
 * DataTables warning (table id = ‘tablepress-1’): Requested unknown parameter ‘
   4’ from the data source for row 148
 * If I delete that row then the error is for row 147, etc.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this problem is actually row 150 (YMCA Riverbank Run). The HTML
   code for the link in the fourth column is incomplete and breaks the table structure.
   Fixing this should be as easy as re-creating that link in that cell.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

   What is wrong with it? Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this is that your table has connected cells, i.e. it uses `#rowspan#`
   and `#colspan#`. Unfortunately, the DataTables JS library does not support tables
   that have this. (In the previous version, it would fail silently, but now it 
   shows an error, to make the user aware of the issue.)
    You will either have to
   remove all colspan and rowspan, or uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the
   table’s “Edit” screen.

 * Dear Tobi,
 * can you help me to find out my website’s problem. I use Tablepress in [http://ceritabahasa.com](http://ceritabahasa.com)
   and if you open it, it’ll show this notification: “DataTables warning: table 
   id=tablepress-2-no-2 – Requested unknown parameter ‘5’ for row 7. For more information
   about this error, please see [http://datatables.net/tn/4&#8221](http://datatables.net/tn/4&#8221);
   
   I use id table ‘2’ in this page [http://ceritabahasa.com/tabel-radikal-bushou-hanzi](http://ceritabahasa.com/tabel-radikal-bushou-hanzi)
   but it looks good when I open in as new single page and the problem only when
   I open the main page.
 * Danke! Thanks for making this useful plug-in.
