Thanks for responding. I am using PHP Version 5.6.39 on host (SiteGround). I deleted the plugin, as you suggested, and reinstalled the plugin once more, with your code changes. This time, it appears to have loaded and launched without a problem. Therefore, the changes you made to the code appear to be working. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thanks for your quick response to my problem. Keep up the good work; it is a very useful plugin to have. Cheers. Eric Wolferman

First, let me applaud you for being one of the few plugin authors to respond quickly and effectively to inquiries. Second, let me say that TablePress is one of the very best plugins in the WordPress universe. And third, at the risk of giving you an even bigger head, you are an utter genius.

Addressing the two issues I reported, you were correct about the “No record found” message that was appearing — this turned out to be entirely my fault. I inadvertently deleted a button I designed to produce a popup index of several articles, of which the particular table was a part. Once I restored the proper code, it now works fine. I apologize for my stupidity.

As for the second issue — incompatibility problems between browsers — you were again entirely correct. Once I disabled minification in the W3TC plugin, the tables are appearing properly in all browsers, complete with the sorting capabilities and the arrow icons and serch box. (I’m going to leave minification disabled for now; I’m not convinced about how much it contributes to overall site performance in the first place.)

In any case, thanks very much for your help. If you have a moment, you can check the table once more to confirm it is working as well as I believe it to be: http://rmtechline.com/2013-high-tech-stats/.

PS — Given your rapid and competent responses, I am tempted to send you ALL my problems with other WordPress plugins. But I will resist the temptation. 🙂
