Hello Paul

Thank you for your purchase.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.

Also, this hasn't been requested that often, so it's not high up our "to-do" list. Please make sure to recommend that feature on this link, so our developers have insight into how many times a feature has been asked for. Features with most votes are more likely to be included in the plugin. Unfortunately, I don't have an ETA for this.

Hi again Paul

Bad choice of words - they don't actually vote, but submit a suggestion, like you did, and at the end of the week we collect all suggestions, and add them on our "to-do" list. So if the suggested feature already appeared in the list, we will simply add a +1.

As for users who enter the dates manually, please insert this custom script in wpDataTables settings/Custom JS and CSS/Custom JS field:

jQuery('body').on('keypress', '.wdt-datepicker', function (event) {event.preventDefault();});

It will block manual entries, so they can only use the date picker.

I hope that helps.

You're welcome, Paul

If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to open a new ticket, and we'll gladly help.

Best regards.
