    Dear Tobias,

    I have noted that the search function which would appear above the tables on my website (https://scbf.ch/project-library/) have gone missing since yesterday.

    From the WordPress admin side, the checkboxes for pagination, as well as allowing visitor to filter or search through the table are enabled. I am not entirely sure what the issue could be. Is this something you could help with?

    Thanks,
    Rudy

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The cause for this is some invalid HTML code in the links in your table. This probably happened when you added the target="_blank" code to make the links open in a new tab/window.
    In particular, in row 30 of the table (entry for “Opportunity International Switzerland”), there’s no quotation mark " after the blank. This breaks the HTML code structure so that the browser can not process the JavaScript features. Once you add that " things should be working again.

    That said, there’s another (but likely minor) issue with adding these target="_blank" snippets: There’s no space character between the " (after the link URL) and the target. I strongly recommend to add this, as the HTML is also invalid otherwise (see the validator), even though it might be working.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Dear Tobias,

    thank you so much for the quick response! I added the missing quote in line 30 and it seems to be working again. I will also add the space between the URL” and target as you advised. You have been very helpful!

    Best,
    Rudy
