Hi Chris,

You can always send us any PHP warnings, notices, deprecated messages, etc., and our developers will work on removing them in future versions.

 Just double-check that you have the latest version on the ChangeLog Page.

I can see you have the latest versions now of the Main Plugin and the add-on - thank you for confirming that.

-

Currently, we are testing the Plugin for all these PHP Versions PHP 7.4 (7.4 is the minimum for our 6.0 wpDataTables) , 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and I am personally testing PHP 8.3 -

-

We can confirm that there are no functionality issues, just some warnings like these and notices are possible to happen if you have WP DEBUG enabled.

( Of course, for production version of websites, the WP DEBUG should be disabled);

Our QA Team and the developers will try to reproduce getting those warnings;

but can you please send us screenshots or text of your System info details, which can be found on our Plugin's back-end Page, then we will pass them to our Developer Team for further isolation and a fix in future versions if we can reproduce them.

-

Can you please also let us know, did you notice, are those warnings happening during a specific moment, such as loading of a specific table;

and the type of the table;

is that table perhaps being called from a separate Database connection (SQL Query based or Manual);

if you can provide any additional details like that, to make it easier for us to try and reproduce the same warnings, etc.

Thank you.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the additional details. I can see you are calling the SQL Tables from the 'browse tables' screenshot from an External Database connection ( not the same DB where your WordPress is)?

Are all your SQL query tables being called from the same external DB, just to check?

I will certainly pass all these details, so our QA Team and the developers will conduct tests to see if we can reproduce those PHP Warnings in order to isolate them.

We are glad to see that you don't have any functionality issues, that is the most important point;

but still, our developers are doing their best to 'iron out' any remaining PHP warnings during updates.

I will let you know if they need any additional details, when we start testing and trying to reproduce this.

For the time being, if you can keep WP_DEBUG disabled for the Live/production version of the Site, that will be best and let me know if you notice any functionality issue as well at any time.

And we can't say an exact ETA on this process, but you can always check the patch notes on our ChangeLog Page ( it can also be found in the Plugin back-end dashboard) where we post any fixes/changes, etc.

Thanks for reporting this and for your patience.

Hi Chris,

We have feedback from our developers.

They will need the following access to inspect the issue remotely, if that is OK :

Please provide me a WP-admin (administrator) user for your website where this happens;

as well as FTP credentials and access to the remote database where your SQL Tables are being called from ( either link with credentials for PHPmyAdmin, or access to Hosting Panel),

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 just check PRIVATE Reply so nobody can see them except us.

Hi Chris,

I recall that the old Plugin versions had no issue or warnings with all the default WP Themes, but the Twenty Twelve is an old one - not sure if we tested everything with the newer wpDataTables and that specific Theme, so you might be on to a good path to isolate this.

Let us know how it goes, if you try other Themes and if they do not have that issue etc;

we will be on stand-by, if our developers need to look into it, let us know.

Thank you.
