wpDataTables is designed based on the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) principle — meaning your tables and charts should look and behave the same in both the back-end preview and the front-end of your website.
If you notice any inconsistencies on the front-end (such as missing images, visual layout issues, or unexpected behavior), this usually indicates a conflict with your theme, page builder, or another plugin.
How to troubleshoot this:
Switch to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) and check if the issue still appears.
Deactivate all other plugins except wpDataTables, refresh the page, and see if the issue is resolved.
If the table/chart now works fine, reactivate your other plugins one by one, refreshing the page after each activation to see when the issue returns.
This will help you isolate the conflicting plugin or theme.
