 * Applying the shortcodes in the [gdoc ] tag doesn’t seem to work for me.
 * I’ve got the tag:
    `[gdoc key="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PxOXG9nKP6q6HaWbrr50pxW4SVDEq2j2QUV4dC3Hyf0/
   edit?usp=sharing" class="FixedHeader-top" style="width: 50%; height: 700px" linkify
   ="no" http_opts='{}']`
 * And the result is not paginated, or the correct width or height:

 * What happens if you remove `http_opts='{}'`?

 * It doesn’t appear to make a difference. I just removed it, leaving
 *     ```
       [gdoc  key="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PxOXG9nKP6q6HaWbrr50pxW4SVDEq2j2QUV4dC3Hyf0/edit?usp=sharing" class="FixedHeader-top" style="width: 50%; height: 700px" linkify="no"]
       ```
   
 * and it still looks the same.

 * There must be something interfering with your theme. When I try this, I get no
   problems; DataTables appears just fine, pagination and all. I would suggest [looking at plugin incompatibilities](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Troubleshooting)
   first, then theme resources.
