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 table is editable and users can edit existing entries, but there is an error when trying to add a new entry saying "Error! There was an error trying to add a new row".
Hello Thomas
There could be a few reasons why this happens.
Is this an SQL Query based table, and if it is - does it contain JOINs, UNIONs or CONCAT functions? If this is the case, unfortunately only one MySQL table can be edited at a time. Queries from multiple tables with joins cannot be used as an editable feature, since SQL UPDATE and INSERT statements are generated automatically, and there currently is no way to update multiple tables – but this problem is being investigated and pursued.
Another reason could be that the ID column for editing is not a unique, primary column. I couldn't say without taking a look at the database, though.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Thanks Thomas
I saw there's a 500 - server error when trying to edit the table, and the PHP error states this:
Call to a member function format() on bool in /home/shmcurv/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/controllers/wdt_ajax_actions.php:307
Line 307 of that file is the date format:
So, the issue is with the predefined editing input for the "Last Updated" column:
Your date format (in wpDataTables settings) is set to d/m/Y, so d.m.Y is going to throw an error. You either need to change the Predefined value or remove it altogether. The column's input is mandatory either way, so you don't need a predefined value there.
If you take a look at the last row of the table, you'll see I was able to add the TEST row using a correct date format.
Kind Regards,
