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!

Okay

    Hello,

    I'm not sure of the circumstances of this error, it seems to occur when re-uploading an excel file.

    I get the follow error when attempting to edit the form, and this error becomes unrecoverable -- I have to delete the table and start again.

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function setFilterType() on bool
    in [PATH OBSCURED]/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wpdatatable.php on line 3031

    Hello Lee

    You cannot re-upload an Excel file to modify the table.

    To change the table linked to an existing data source, you would need to replace the file in ../wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH/ folder. The file should be named the same, and the structure cannot be changed.

    So, if you add, delete, rename or reorder existing columns, the table will break.

    Kind Regards,
