I've tried both creating a table manually AND importing an Excel file. Both times i'm getting a fatal error.
Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context in /home/boxoffice/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/templates/frontend/table_footer.inc.php on line 13
I just bought this today. The system info all has Green checkmarks. Please help me figure this out.
So! If I Choose "Excel-Like" instead of "Standard" then i could get it to show up. . . but then when i enter some Data and try to "Apply" or Save it, i get the error you see in the attachment!
Hi SeanCB, Thank you for the purchase and sorry for the inconvenience.
Please do not worry, seems like a PHP version compatibility issue.
Please check the following:
1) if you can ask your host to upgrade to PHP 5.6, 5.7 or PHP 7 it would be best, as it also provides overall better performance.
2) if this is not an option please provide me a temporary WP-admin login for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue. We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course we do not provide login data to third party. You can write credentials here just check PRIVATE so nobody can see it except us.
First off, thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it.
So, i have had my developer upgrade to PHP 7, and it seems to be working for now. A few small issues remain, that i hope you can help me with:
1. Please look at the attachment. How do i hide the "Search" box? I thought i did it in the settings. . . do i need to do it via CSS? Also, the column "wdt_ID" appeared on it's own and it's showing up on the front end, and I can't delete it. How do I get rid of it??? Lastly, do I control all of the styling of the table via the Settings in the back end? or is it mainly via CSS?
2. Whenever I try and switch to "Standard View" from the "Excel-like" view, in the back end all of my data just disappears and in the front end it just shows a WALL of code. Am i missing something?
People mostly use standard view in the front-end, but Excel-like view could be also used. Excel-like view is mostly used for fast table editing.
1. Enable search block feature is working just for Standard wpDataTables and not for Excel-like.
Regarding wdt_ID column it will be always created for Manual wpDataTables. For Standard view tables you could hide this column if you don't want to show it in the front-end, but for Excel-like tables it is not possible. You can see feature difference between these two views at this link.
"Lastly, do I control all of the styling of the table via the Settings in the back end? or is it mainly via CSS? "
- For general settings (All tables) you can change colors, fonts, on wpDataTables settings page under Color and font settings tab. Also you can add CSS in Custom wpDataTables CSS under Custom JS and CSS tab.
2. Could you provide me login credentials so I can investigate this issue and issue with Standard Mode tables on the front-end.
If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
Did you updated PHP version to 7.1? It seems that everything works now. I have successfully created a wpDataTable manually and put it on the front-end in the Standard View. Can you please check?
If you like our plugin and support we'd greatly appreciate it if you could take a minute and leave a review on CodeCanyon on this link. It means a lot to us. Thank you.

Line 13 appears to be this:
|| !empty($this->getSumColumns()) || !empty($this->getAvgColumns())
I need this working ASAP!

Hi SeanCB,
Can you please send the credentials here and check the PRIVATE reply.
We receive a lot of emails daily and it is much more easier for us to see the credentials here and investigate the issue.
Best regards.

Hey Bogdan,
I will do that now, for sure. Thanks again.
One last quick question. . .is there a way to "BOLD" the contents of one Cell or One Row?
Please let me know,
thanks again.
Nevermind. . . I believe I can achieve what i want with Conditional settings in the row.
thanks!
Hi SeanCB,
Thank you very much for the 5 star review, we appreciate it.
It can probably be done with some CSS.
Can you send me the link of that table and if you can tell me which row would you like to be bold so I can give you my suggestion.
Best regards.

Hi Bogdan,
I will work on "Bolding" certain rows once i'm done with the large table i'm working on now.
In the meantime, is it possible to assign ONE cell of the table as a URL link?
If not one cell, I tried making one column's Data Type "URL Link" but i couldn't figure out how to input the url!?
can you help point me in the right direction?
thanks.
Hi SeanCB,
It is not possible to make just one cell to be URL link but you can make the URL link columns.
You can take a look at our documentation about URL columns.
Pay attention to the formating which is described in the documentation and you will have no problems when creating URL link columns.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
