Hi Ronald,

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 using the today's date as a dynamic Placeholder;

Sorry to disappoint you, but for the Date filter,

you can either use "Text" filter type or "Date Range" filter type.

For the Date Range it is not possible in our Plugin to set up any Placeholder in the Column such as %CURRENT_DATE% placeholder.

The only current way to use that is with a Text filter.

If you wish to see a way to use "Today's date" in a Date range as your use case,

Please feel free to search on our suggestions page, 

 to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there,  and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

2. The only current ways i know of with our current capabilities to use the "today's date" in a Date Range filter,

is if you add a "WHERE" statement in an SQL Query based Table like this, for example :

where wp_wpdatatable_#.datetime >= NOW()

Of course, change the wp_wpdatatable_#  to your MySQL Table name,  and the 'datetime' to your Date Column,

or you can also try to change the "NOW" to our Placeholder %CURRENT_DATE%  and see if that works for your use case.

2. In regards to the issue where dropdowns don't work on front-end but they work in back-end,

Please try this first.

Go to the main plugin settings, and disable/uncheck option "Include full bootstrap front-end".

Then refresh the page with the table, and check if dropdowns are now working.

2. If that does not fix the issue, can you please send me the URL of the page where you have this table?

And if I can check the back-end setup as well.

Please provide me a temporary WP-admin (administrator) user for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue. 

We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course, we do not provide login data to third parties. 

You can write credentials here but just make sure to mark the reply as PRIVATE  so nobody can see them except us.

Thanks.
