Hi, James.

This was a bug with the version 5.4.  Our developers just launched a new update with this fix.

Please update your plugin to 5.4.1 and this should be fixed.

Updating the plugin to the latest version

Let me know how it goes.  Thanks.

Hi, Pablo.

If you have the latest plugin version but still got the "browse tables" problem;

Can you please first check under  the "System Info" tab of our Plugin dashboard, and let me know which MySQL Version is showing there?

It is important for us to confirm that because our developers will add a new fix in the upcoming Update, so we are taking note of every user's version, to be sure.

Here is what you can try, too.

If you can please edit one PHP file of our plugin, with any text/code editor of your choice,

you will find it in this path ( either through your hosting's FTP, or the Hostings Panel/ File Manager) :

wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wdtbrowsetable.php

around line 87, find this :

if (version_compare($dbVersion, '5.6', '>=')

then replace it with this :

if (version_compare($dbVersion, '5.5.5', '>')

Let us know if you try this, does it fix the issue with the latest wpDataTables version 5.4.1,

and if you can also please confirm your MySQL version from System Info.

Thank you.

Hi, Pablo.

Sorry for the late reply.

I am delighted to hear that this has been resolved. Thank you for letting us know.

 Anything else that we could assist with, please don't hesitate to create new tickets.

If possible, could you also please just confirm your MySQL Version,  from the System Info tab,

so that we can send the information to our developers?

And also, of course - if anything else happens, please don't hesitate to open new tickets and we will help.

Have a great day!
