Hello Ben

Thank you for your purchase, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Seems there's a bug on our end. Can you please go to wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/assets/js/wpdatatables/wdt.excel.js, and on line 1298 you will find this:

$('div.wpExcelTable').handsontable({
            wpDataTablesExcelPlugin: true
        });

Please replace it with this:

$('div.wpExcelTable').each( function (){
            $(this).handsontable({
                wpDataTablesExcelPlugin: true
            });
        })

After you save that file, please go to wpDataTables settings/Custom JS and CSS tab and disable "Use minified wpDataTables Javascript" check-box.

It should work fine after that.

Our development team will see to it that this is fixed for our next update.

You're welcome, Ben

I believe that's a bug, yeah.

Can you please share the front-end page with me, so I can take a look?

Hi again Ben

The Search that you've disabled is only for the regular table view, while Excel-like tables have the search enabled by default.

You can see it in back-end as well. I will forward this to our development team, and hopefully they'll be able to do something about it in the future.

At the moment, you can add this CSS to the page (or in wpDataTables settings/Custom JS and CSS/Custom CSS - if you want to hide it for all tables):

.wpExcelTable_search_filter {
display: none !important;
}

You're welcome, Ben

If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to open a new ticket, and we'll gladly help.
