Hi, Mihu 

In order to save all the tables and settings from Lite, before you delete it and move to Premium,

just check that this setting is enabled, in main plugin settings : Prevent deleting tables in database

If you have this enabled, then all your data will be safe in your Database, so nothing to worry about,

then you can remove Lite and install Premium version.

Installation

Let us know how it goes.

Hi, Mihu 

Thank you for this update, and the feedback.

I am happy to see that you managed the solution that works in the best way for your use-case.

Yes, we have certain articles and documentation about this, but perhaps it is not pointed out in the best way.

I will pass on this feedback and suggestion,  we will speak with our management to see about improving the Documentation, and add this detail about saving the tables/settings,  for cases when users switch from Lite to Premium and when they wish to save existing data like that.

Thanks again, and of course, please don't hesitate to open new tickets whenever you have any questions or need any help.

Have a great day!

Hi, Mihu 

We are just following up on this, in the meantime, i have been advised that we actually already have this pointed out in our Documentation.

I was honestly not aware of this, i apologise for my mistake, but it has been like this for a long time,

on this page about Updating wpDataTables.

This is also a direct link that automatically scrolls to the section about Updating from Lite to Full version : https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/general/updating-wpdatatables/#lite-to-full

My apologies once again for not pointing that out earlier, i will make a note of it.

Of course, please don't hesitate to reach out to us whenever you have any questions.

Thank you.
