I am trying to freeze the header of my table. I found a jQuery plugin that should do the trick. However when I paste the path to the jQuery plugin in the 'Custom wpDataTabls Js' section under 'Settings' I constantly get 'Please Insert Connection Parameters', even though I selected the Database I want it to apply to. What does this error mean?
Also is there anyway I can freeze the header column for my table more easily? It is pretty disappointing that I can't freeze columns or headers easily as I have a lot of rows and columns in my table which are kind of useless without those features.
The error you're getting is not related to the custom JS section, and it will be displayed if you try to make any changes in the settings.
This means that you have a separate DB connection which has not been set up all the way, or correctly. Please delete the separate DB connection which doesn't work, and the issue will be resolved.
As for freezing the headers, unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built in features. We have it planned for one of our future releases, but I cannot say when it will be implemented. Unfortunately, the feature has proved to be very sensitive to different themes, and it requires more work.
You can try with the custom plugin, but please note that issues like conflicts with third party plugins or themes are always possible due to the nature of WP.
Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to use the custom JS section and implement a plugin with a wpData table? The separate db connection does work because I can pull data from it fine and when I test connection to it it passes.
When I try using that I get the attached error message, even though I am connected to a separate DB connection that works and have used to create tables on my site.
Like I said, this error refers to the separate DB connection. Either there's something missing, or there's another separate DB connection which wasn't set all the way, or it worked but it doesn't anymore. At this point I'm guessing.
If you try to make any other changes in settings (like change the date format), it will come up with the same error.
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 Reply so nobody can see them except us.

Hi Aleksander,
For example, in this WPtables tutorial video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efT5tT6Yfa0
This js code is used:
alert('I am custom JS!');
and it works fine for him.
When I try using that I get the attached error message, even though I am connected to a separate DB connection that works and have used to create tables on my site.
Thanks for any help.

Hey Jon.
That opened the log-in page, but unfortunately neither of the two passwords work:
Can you please check that, and let me know?
Best regards.
