Since you see that error, it means you must have wpDataTables older than version 6 installed.
You need to update it.
The most important first step is to check this option;
In the main plugin settings/'Prevent deleting tables in database'.
When you have that enabled, it means that all your tables, settings and charts will remain safe in your WordPress Database, so you can safely update the plugin.
If you activated the purchase code in wpDataTables Settings/Activation, the update should be offered in the Plugins section.
On some WordPress installations, you need to deactivate the plugin first in order to see the update offered, so please try that.
If that doesn't work, try going through Dashboard/Updates.
See if you can update the plugin through there, and if that doesn't work either, you can follow the manual update procedures from this Guide :
Installed plugin but won't activate.
I get the following error:
Master-Detail Tables add-on for wpDataTables requires wpDataTables version 6.0. Please update wpDataTables plugin to be able to use it!
I am currently on version 6.5.2
Help!
Hello,
It is not possible to have wpDataTables updated to 6.5.2 because the current latest version is 6.3.2. as you can see on our changeLog https://wpdatatables.com/help/whats-new-changelog/.
