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!

    Hello, I'm interested in finding out if there's a way for tables that are built in wpDataTables to accommodate text that is more than 240 characters in length. I know that it can't be unlimited ... but something closer to 1,000 or even 2,000 bytes would be helpful to me.

    Hi, Michaelsmile.png

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    -

    Yes. I believe that you should not have issues in achieving  this with our tables.

    It depends on the table types that you would use.

    -

    For example, if you are making a new table in the database, a Manual table,

    then you can choose the data type for string columns that will be created in the new database table.

    If you choose a "one-line string" in our plugin's column settings, when the new String column is added to a Manual table,

     the default limitation will be as VARCHAR( which has a limitation of 255 characters) . 

    -

    Or if you set the string column to be "multi-line string", then it will make a  TEXT column in the database table ( 65,535 character limit)

    -

    2.

    Alternatively, if there is already an existing table in the database, that has a string column set as a TEXT type, in your database management tool ( e.g PhPMyAdmin), 

     then if you make an SQL Query table in our plugin,

    it will already be pulled as TEXT column( 65,535 character limit).

    -

    Let me know if that makes sense, and if you have any questionssmile.png

    Or if i maybe misunderstood your query, please correct me and we will do our best to advise.

    Thank you

    Kind Regards,
