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!

    I have gone through all the general and specific styling settings, but I haven't found an answer. I have a very wide table. It looks really ugly when I use the general settings for word wrap and limit table width. It also stretched the buttons into weird shapes and in some cases the whole button is not visible in the table. 
    What I want to do:

    I have several columns that I know will never be larger than 2 or 5 characters, for example. Is there a way to limit the size of only those columns? I also would need the column headers for these columns to wrap. 
    I don't see a way to set that per column. Am I missing something? Including a screenshot of my table so you can see what I mean. The year, and age columns will always be smaller than everything else.

    Hello Eufemia

    When you enable "Limit Table Width", every column gets a new option:

    If you enter the data like shown above, it will be considered as 100px, but you can also use %, so 25% would make that column take 25% width of the page.

    To wrap words in the header, you would need to add custom CSS in wpDataTables settings/Custom JS and CSS/Custom CSS field:

    table.wpDataTable th { white-space: normal !important; }

    Kind Regards,
