We've recently upgraded to wpDataTables 2.0.2 on a WordPress 4.8.1 installation. We are seeing the same problem reported in "Show records box not working" (#1241350). Specifically, the front-end data table works fine EXCEPT when you click "Show 10 entries" to change it, when nothing happens. 

I did an "Inspect Element" on this item and the sub-items are there. So it seems that whatever JavaScript / jQuery trigger is being used isn't working.

I've reproduced this both with the current Avada theme and the WordPress "Twenty Seventeen" theme, so I don't think it's a theme conflict. And this was not a problem before the update (or so it seems since other things were updated at the same time).

I've also noticed that this same control IS WORKING on the back-end preview. So that's a clue.

I can give you a URL to the site and table, but it is on a protected page, so I'd have to privately give you credentials to see it.

Hi Bogdan,

Yes, that solved the problem! :-)

I tried that earlier but must have forgotten to do "Apply" (or do a "deep refresh" on the page). 

Case closed! Best of luck with the new version. wpDataTables is a GREAT product!

I wonder if this is something that could be reported automatically in the plugin (e.g. if you don't detect Bootstrap, display a red footer note: 'Warning: Bootstrap.js does not appear to be enabled. Try turning on the “Include bootstrap.js on the front-end” option in the wpDataTable settings.')
