Hi, I downloaded the zip file for your wpdatatables product successfully, but when I try to upload it to my website I get a 408 timeout error on microsoft edge or in chrome it says 'This site can't be reached'. This plugin will be very important for my site so I am very keen to solve this quickly. Many thanks
Please note that our plugin is around 11 MB in size, so if you are not able to upload it through WordPress plugins page, then you may need to increase the following:
upload_max_file size,
post_max_size,
max_execution_time
You should be able to find these values in your php.ini file or on your hosting panel. If you can't find it yourself please ask your hosting provider to provide it.
Anyway, if this doesn't help my suggestion is to update the plugin manually by following these steps:
2. Use FTP to open /your_wordpress_folder/wp-content/plugins
3. Delete existing wpDataTables folder (if you have one)
4. Upload previously downloaded wpDataTables folder through FTP to plugins folder (unzip it)
5. Go to WP-admin panel, open Plugins section.
6. Deactivate wpDataTables, and then activate it again.
7. Clear server and browser cache
IMPORTANT: If you had the Lite version, or another version of wpDataTables previously installed, do NOT delete the old version from WP-admin (by clicking “Delete” in the plugins page) if you don’t want to lose all your tables!
