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!

    I've created a Custom Post Type which I want to make a table of. When I do so, the Search function doesn't work. I realize I have to create a view. However, when doing so, I receive the error "The SELECT statement cannot contain a subquery in the FROM clause." Assistance with a work around would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Komplexideas,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    As MySQL documentation on create view statement says:

    A view definition is subject to the following restrictions:
    Before MySQL 5.7.7, the SELECT statement cannot contain a subquery in the FROM clause.

    This means, that choosing a MySQL v5.7.7 or newer or upgrading the existing MySQL instance to such a version, would remove this restriction on views completely.

    However, if you have a current production MySQL version that is earlier than v5.7.7, then the removal of this restriction on views should only be one of the criteria being assessed while making a decision as to upgrade or not. Using the workaround techniques described in the other answers may be a more viable solution.

    On website stackoverflow.com you can find a lot of useful examples how you can solve this issue changing your query that is used in that view.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
