We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Hello, We have installed the latest version of the premium wpDataTables plugin, however, keep getting the following error message on the page which contains the table shortcode. We've narrowed it down to this plugin by deactivation. The issue also presents itself when we try to open or edit an existing table within the plugin itself: There has been a critical error on this website. Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress. Can you please advise as to how we can resolve this issue? Thank you.
Hello Andy.
This is a generic message, and we can't say exactly what's causing it without inspecting the page.
Firstly, can you please try reinstalling the plugin? You can take a look at the article below:
https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/article/17656/
If that doesn't help, please provide me with a temporary wp-admin (administrator) access in a PRIVATE response, so I can take a look.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Hi again Andy.
I added a short PHP snippet in wpDataTables and saw this error when accessing the table you have:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function setFilterType() on bool in /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wpdatatable.php:4635 Stack trace: #0 /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wpdatatable.php(4580): WPDataTable->prepareRenderingRules(Array) #1 /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wpdatatable.php(5634): WPDataTable->fillFromData(Object(stdClass), Array) #2 /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wdtconfigcontroller.php(139): WPDataTable::loadWpDataTable(9, NULL) #3 /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/controllers/wdt_admin.php(623): WDTConfigController::loadTableConfig(9) #4 /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/controllers/wdt_admin.php(702): wdtEdit() #5 /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): wdtConstructor('') #6 /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hoo in /home/digitalskills/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wpdatatable.php on line 4635
The line in the file refers to this:
$this->getColumn($column->orig_header)->setFilterType($column->filter_type);
This error usually occurs when you make a change in the file the table was created from, like:
Unfortunately, if this is the case, you will need to recreate the table again, and please keep in mind the changes mentioned above, like it's mentioned in our documentation. This refers to tables created from Excel, CSV, and Google Spreadsheet files.
Kind Regards,

Thanks for the reply, Aleksandar. The strange thing is that the file has not been updated or changed since 2022, and that file worked perfectly well until the plugin changed recently when error-checking was introduced.
I've noticed that when I try to import the attached spreadsheet to create a new table, I get the following error message:
"Error! One or more columns doesn't have a header. Please enter headers for all columns in order to proceed."
This is the same error-message I saw with the plugin before the error-checking issue was resolved. This table also has headers for each of the columns as you can see in the attachment, so I'm wondering if this issue is related to the plugin's error-checking issue?
Thanks,
Andy

Hi again Andy.
I just created a new table linked to this file without any issues:
Can you please provide me with a temporary wp-admin (Administrator) user in a PRIVATE response, so I can check on your end?
