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!

    Hi there,


    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?

    Thanks!

    Kind regards, Peggy

    Hey Peggy

    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.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Kind Regards, 

    Aleksandar Vuković
