Hi, Thomas.

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.

Our plugin is not a database management tool, and is not meant to be used as one;

that is why you are able to run this specific Query in your PhPMyAdmin,

we will elaborate more on the SQL logic from our plugin.

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 us know if that helps.

Thank you.
