Hi, Chris.

I see this is an MySQL Table.

The filtering sometimes does not work with server-side processing due to our SQL Parser;

but there is a solution, i will elaborate.

-

Could you show me the SQL Query that was used for this table - and I can advise if maybe some small modification/correction is needed to get the search to work?

-

But you can also check these points to save time if you wish.

Our logic is based on a PHP SQL parser which has full support for the SQL dialect for the following statement types

SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, REPLACE, RENAME, SHOW, SET, DROP, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TABLE, EXPLAIN and DESCRIBE.

Some of them are disabled for security reasons.

Filtering, sorting, and search may not work properly if you include:

• Accent graves ( ` ) around the table name
• JOIN functions
• UNION functions
• CONCAT functions
• sub-queries

-

So, first you can check for accent graves around the table name, if you have this, remove it...

Then, see if you used CONCAT to create any column.

If so, go into this column setting, and disable it from "global search" in the Filtering tab.

-

-

If none of that helps,

you can try preparing a MySQL view (which will return the data that you need, call it e.g. “view1” and then build a wpDataTables based on a simple query like "SELECT * FROM view1″.

 If you need help with that, you can see our video, where we show an example of using View in our plugin.

-

Let me know If that helped, and i can take a look at the Query, as well.

Thank you

Hi, Chris.

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.

1. In regards to filtering/search issues, I can't seem to reproduce this issue on the page table.

I have tried each column filter, and they all seem to work.

You can see my Video here - https://watch.screencastify.com/v/18qsPzSsz2MKEqKZ5BrV.

Can you tell me which column filter is not working from your end;

or maybe you did something to fix this in the meantime?

If you can still reproduce the issue for filtering/ or search; could you show me some screenshots or a Video,

and elaborate a bit more about this issue?

2. In regards to moving the advanced filtering to render in table Header, sorry I forgot to answer that question initially.

You can do this in main plugin settings/Render advanced filter.

You can also move filters above the table, in a Form;

in table settings/Sorting and Filtering/Filters in a Form.

Hi, Chris.

I am happy to see that now it seems to generally work well, as needed for your use-case,

but we will be on stand-by, let me know if you notice this issue reoccur at any point;

and also you can open new tickets in the meantime, if anything else comes up.

Thank you.
