Frontend Editing and filtering works in the dashboard of WPDataTables but does not work on a page using the proper short code. The filtering titles are displayed but not the filter boxes. Editing does not function either. The Editing button in the options area is greyed out and the editing popup does not popup nor does the row highlight. This happened just after I tried to update the version from 6.0 to 6.1. The update seemed to be OK. I tried to install the prior version ; that didn't help; re-installed the current 6.1 version again and that didn't help. WPDataTables works on another domain just fine with the new update but not this one.
wpDataTables is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) concept-based plugin.
This means that the table should look the same both in the back-end and in the front-end.
If your front-end table looks and behaves differently than in the back-end, this usually implies that there is another plugin (or the current theme) that's changing the behavior of our plugin.
Can you please change the theme and see if the issue is resolved?
If not, then please deactivate all other plugins except for our plugin, refresh the page where the issue is, and see if it is resolved (it should be).
If it is, then start activating other plugins one by one, and after each activation refresh the page to see if the issue reoccurred.
Once it does reoccur, you will have found the plugin causing the issue.
Let us knoe if these steps help to isolate the issue.

Hello,
