I get this when trying to upload csv, xls or xlsx
- This is caused by WordPress settings. You can allow uploads of these file types by adding this line in wp-config.php file of your WordPress site:
define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);
With lite version you should be able to create tables from these file types that you mentioned. After adding this line in wp-config.php file, can you try if you can create wpDataTables?
A lot of premium plugins have lite versions on WordPress repository and that is one of the ways to reach more customers. wpDataTables Lite is restricted like other lite plugins but it can be used for some basic needs that are mentioned in the description of wpDataTables lite plugin. Also we mentioned limitations that are not available in the lite version:
