Is there a way to copy wpDataTables tables and charts with all settings between sites? We have development and production sites and created pages using wpdatatables on test stie. Now we need to copy it to production.
When you are moving on live site from local or stage site (or vice-versa) we can suggest using Plugin Duplicator. We use it and it's working fine because it will transfer all the files and also the tables to the database.
Other than cloning the site, another option would be to copy all database tables (wp_wpdatatable_#) along with tables wp_wpdatatables, wp_wpdatacharts, wp_wpdatatables_rows and wp_wpdatatables_columns. Then, in wp_options table, you would also need to export the following option_names:
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtUseSeparateCon
wdtSeparateCon
wdtTimepickerRange
wdtTimeFormat
wdtTabletWidth
wdtTablesPerPage
wdtSumFunctionsLabel
wdtRenderFilter
wdtRenderCharts
wdtIncludeBootstrap
wdtIncludeBootstrapBackEnd
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtParseShortcodes
wdtNumbersAlign
wdtBorderRemoval
wdtBorderRemovalHeader
wdtNumberFormat
wdtMobileWidth
wdtMinifiedJs
wdtMinFunctionsLabel
wdtMaxFunctionsLabel
wdtLeftOffset
wdtTopOffset
wdtInterfaceLanguage
wdtGeneratedTablesCount
wdtFontColorSettings
wdtDecimalPlaces
wdtCSVDelimiter
wdtDateFormat
wdtCustomJs
wdtCustomCss
wdtBaseSkin
wdtAvgFunctionsLabel
wdtInstallDate
wdtRatingDiv
wdtMDNewsDiv
wdtTempFutureDate
It is rather cumbersome to do all this, but unfortunately at the moment, it's the only way. Also, for tables linked to an existing data source, you would need to change the file path, because at the moment the file path depends on the domain, so if you change the domain, the URL to the file will also have to be changed.
- There are also certain export functionalities, to export individual tables using Table Tools.
- Regarding switching domains; In our store you can go to "My Licenses" and click on the "Manage Domains" button:
From there, you will be able to deactivate the old domain (while it's still active), and then simply activate the new domain in wpDataTables settings/Activation, once you move the site.

I found that 2 yeas ago it was not possible : "Migrating WpDataTables plugin (only) to different site" (#2315223) / TMS-Plugins (ticksy.com)
Maybe anything new appeared since?
