I purchased wpdatatables for the purpose of connecting Google spread sheets ONLY..
after the purchase and configuration, I came to know the google published URL is not valid to use anymore. and you advised to use the URL on the browser. (despite the issue was there longtime ago, but you did not tell us.. your demos still directing clients to use the Published URL)
I did use the public URL and all working fine.. few days later I came to know my speradsheet on the wpdatatables is EMPTY despite the google spreadsheet of Google docs is working fine.. tried to refresh the URL and apply I got error "Table in data source has no rows."
I tried to create fresh wpdatatables from google s.h. again but I got the same error.
Now both URL linking methods DO NOT WORK.. so what is it and what should I do.
RedirectsFor security reasons, content returned by the Content service isn't served from script.google.com, but instead redirected to a one-time URL at script.googleusercontent.com. This means that if you use the Content service to return data to another application, you must ensure that the HTTP client is configured to follow redirects.
What you can try is to add this code in file wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wdttools.php around line 205 you will find this
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, site_url());
and below that add this code
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
so your code will look like this
We need to test more but for now it is working in all test cases and it will be included in next update.

I am on yearly subscription and stuck at this.
Hi Jawdat,
Thank you for reporting this.
After investigation, we found out that your link in converted in this after CURL call
The described behavior is a feature:
