I am trying to create a wpDataTable based upon a custom post type I've created. But this post type also has some custom fields (created with ACF) that I need to show in my table. Properties I want to show are title + 3 custom fields that are assigned to this custom post type. But they do not show up in my 'all post properties' box. Could you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your purchase and sorry for the late response.
Pulling the data from the database is not something we can help you with, as writing custom queries is not included in the provided support for the plugin.
We don't have a native integration with ACF, so there's nothing in wpDataTables that would help you configure the correct query. The query constructor that you're using should be treated as helper for constructing a suggestion of a query, by trying to ‘guess’ what you want. We are constantly working to improve it, but SQL is such a complicated and flexible language that fully automating the process for constructing queries is hardly possible. Consequently, the more complicated your request is, the higher is the probability that it will not return exactly what you need. Play around with the resulting query to achieve better results.
