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!
The rows on the table are the details of each user with role:subscriber on the site. If a new user joins, an extra row should be added. If a user is deleted, that row should also be deleted.
The columns on the table are the names of the posts on the site. If the site has 3 posts with category 'preloaded', I need three columns. Each column header is the post title. If the admin adds an extra post (to make 4), or deletes a post (to make 2) then the table should reflect that. It should then have 4 columns or 2 columns.
I asked a contractor to see if it is possible. He designed this attached php file (I attached it as a txt file) to generate a JSON file and build the table from that JSON file.
The problem we found is that if I add a new subscriber to the site, his information shows up on the table. *A new row is added*. That's good.
However, if I add a new post to the site (with category "preloaded" like the others), the new post DOES NOT appear in the table. In other words: a new column with that post title and user's details for that post do not appear in the table. *No new column is added*. That's a problem. The plugin then also crashes and gives error messages, which I've attached here too.
Is there a way to do what I want? So that the table creates columns dynamically, just like it can create rows dynamically?
Hello Jim
Thank you for your interest in our plugin.
I checked with one of our developers, and unfortunately what you're trying to achieve is not possible with wpDataTables at the moment. The tables will break when you add new column, change the order of columns, delete some columns or even rename existing columns. All settings for a table are being saved in the database, and when the plugin runs into an inconsistency, it breaks the table.
Our development team will be working on this in the future, but I cannot tell you when it will be resolved.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
