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 created a table using a Google Spreadsheet.  Table looks great but I have one column that lists the titles of research papers.  Some of the titles can get really long so I'd like to shorten/truncate them with CSS.  Do you have an easy CSS for this? 

    I've checked your documentation and couldn't find the answer.  I searched online but only found several lines of CSS, not just one.  I don't even know if this is possible.

    I have also utilized changing the column widths/wrapping text but I don't like the way this displays in mobile.

    If you have some CSS or another workaround to this, that would be excellent.

    Thank you for your time,

    Todd

    Hello Todd

    Thank you for your purchase.

    Something like this can't be done with CSS, but you could do it with innerHTML I suppose.

    You would need to locate the ID, and if possible change content of it with some JavaScript. We don't have any documentation or advice about this, since it is not something wpDataTables is capable of. This is being done outside the plugin, and we do not provide support for that.

    If I had already done it in the past, I would've gladly shared some advice with you, but I haven't, so I don't know exactly how it can be done.

    Kind Regards,
