We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

Okay

    Hi,

    I have a couple of columns that I don't want users to be able to sort on, how can I remove the sorted class from them while leaving the others intact. 

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Patric,

    You can do this on PHP as well as JS side. I wrote little function that you can add to your theme function.php file like in this tutorial and which will allows you to specify column numbers that you do not want to be sortable as well as table id on which you want to apply this:

    function sortColDisable( $object, $table_id ) {
   if ( $table_id == 37 ) {
      $object->dataTableParams->columnDefs[3]->bSortable = false;
      $object->dataTableParams->columnDefs[4]->bSortable = false;
   }
   return $object;
}
add_filter('wpdatatables_filter_table_description', 'sortColDisable', 10, 2);

    In this example it will disable sorting on columns 3 and 4 for table with id 37

    Please be aware that numbering is zero based (so first column would be 0) and it counts hidden columns as well
