Responsive plugin DataTables error

    I apologize if this has been asked and answered already, but I can’t spare the time to look through 204 pages of support entries. 🙁

    I’m using #colspan# tags in my table. When I use responsive=collapse in my shortcode I get this error message:

    DataTables warning: table id=tablepress-1 – Requested unknown parameter ‘2’ for row 3. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/4

    If I use flip or scroll, I don’t get the error, so it looks like collapse mode turns DataTables on. Is this required for collapse mode to work? If not, is there any way to turn DataTables off in this mode?

    If it’s a restriction, I can live with scroll mode. There are only a few columns, so smartphone users can rotate their phones and see the whole table.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Your assumption is correct here. The collapse mode relies on the DataTables JS library and therefore turns it on. Unfortunately, as the DataTables JS library is not compatible with tables that have combined/merged cells (using #colspan#), this will cause error messages here. Ultimately, this unfortunately means that the collapse mode can not be used in such tables.
    You will indeed have to switch to the scroll mode here.

    Regards,
    Tobias
