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!

    How to store an encryption key in a wpDataTables field?

    I want to store a (long text value) value like:

    JC+dG+a/9hbEEKZgr6UTEqM27QG9A0d6GnGpouYVuQUY9A==

    However wpDataTables does not save this data.

    Thanks for your answer in advance.

    (Update: solved already: I have extended the field type to 'long text' in mySQL in PhpMyAdmin panel)

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Glad that you solved the issue.
    In case you need it I will write you a note about mysql text size

    "TINYTEXT is a string data type that can store up to to 255 characters.  TEXT is a string data type that can store up to 65,535 characters. TEXT is commonly used for storing blocks of text used for brief articles.  LONGTEXT is a string data type with a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 characters."

    So maybe this can be useful.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Miloš Jovanović

    Thanks a lot for this answer Bogdan. I now have changed my data type to 'text' instead of 'longtext' as text lenght will be sufficient. 

    Regards,

    Peter
