I have spent hours trying to get URL filtering to work on a MYSQL table using a query and a view. Column and Global filtering works fine in the preview mode of wpdatatables as well as the page where the table's shortcode is placed. I just can't get a pre-filter (?wdt_search or column_search) to work via placing it in the URL to the page where the shortcode of the table exists. I have re-named the column headings to eliminate spaces and any other special characters. I've done everything the documentation says like enabling 'Advanced column Filters'. I am at a loss. I can't get URL filtering to work using a competitor (wpdata access) either, it does the same thing. Where am I going wrong? Hank
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.
- I can help you figure this out and isolate the issue, but I would need a bit more details, and to inspect the page where this table is, if you could send me a link to that page,
and let me know some examples of a wdt_search or column_search that are failing to happen with pre-filtered URL?
