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!

    Dear Support,

    Is there anyway to set all the columns to a specific width and the header column word wrapped if the length of header is too long?

    Regards

    GC

    Hi Grace

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    We can enable wrapping for headers, but that will not give you any control over what goes in the next line, so it would break based on column's width.

    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; }

    Have you tried enabling the Limit table width option from the Display tab in the table settings? To limit the table width to the parent container width (so it wouldn’t be wider than the page) you need to enable the “Limit table width” switch in the “Display” tab on the table settings page.

    Note that the “Limit table width” and “Scrollable” features exclude one another.

    When you enable the Limit table width option you will get an additional option in the column settings called Column width where you can manually further adjust the width of specific columns.

    I hope this helps, do let us know if you need any further assistance.
