 * I’ve never had this issue with a table before (and if you check other pages on
   my website with the tables, they work fine), but it just… will not load the sorting
   issues.
 * I first thought it could be because I had cellpadding at one point which I know
   removes it, but I ended up removing that all recently and trying to re-enable
   the javascript. When it didn’t work, I even redid the table entirely from scratch
   and it was still broken.
 * I tried putting the table on a different page as well incase something was wrong
   with the page, but it still didn’t work. It seems to be an issue specifically
   with this table.

 * So of course as I continue playing around with it, I finally found the solution
   while doing another test– one of the URLs was missing a “. That was it. That 
   was the problem. I fixed it and it works now!
 * So um, if anyone else runs into this problem, check your URLs.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Great find! Indeed, a missing `"` would result in broken HTML code, due to which
   the browser can not properly display the table cells – which is detected by the
   JavaScript code, which then produces these errors.
    Good to hear that it was 
   such an easy fix!
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias   P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress [here](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/#new-post)
