But, this feature is not available for the Simple Tables, because they have their own logic how the data is being saved via our Plugin, this table type is unique, different from other DataTable types.
So at the moment, unfortunately we don't have an 'out of the box' solution to export, for example Simple tables one by one like that via Table Tools, if that is what you intend to achieve.
2. But, you can migrate all your Plugin data from one Site to another, I will show you the two ways how it can be done :
When you are moving on live site from local or stage site (or vice-versa) we can suggest using Plugin Duplicator. We use it and it's working fine because it will transfer all the files and also the tables to the database.
Other than cloning the site, another option would be to copy all database tables (wp_wpdatatable_#) along with tables wp_wpdatatables, wp_wpdatacharts, wp_wpdatatables_rows and wp_wpdatatables_columns. Then, in wp_options table, you would also need to export the following option_names:
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtUseSeparateCon
wdtSeparateCon
wdtTimepickerRange
wdtTimeFormat
wdtTabletWidth
wdtTablesPerPage
wdtSumFunctionsLabel
wdtRenderFilter
wdtRenderCharts
wdtIncludeBootstrap
wdtIncludeBootstrapBackEnd
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtParseShortcodes
wdtNumbersAlign
wdtBorderRemoval
wdtBorderRemovalHeader
wdtNumberFormat
wdtMobileWidth
wdtMinifiedJs
wdtMinFunctionsLabel
wdtMaxFunctionsLabel
wdtLeftOffset
wdtTopOffset
wdtInterfaceLanguage
wdtGeneratedTablesCount
wdtFontColorSettings
wdtDecimalPlaces
wdtCSVDelimiter
wdtDateFormat
wdtCustomJs
wdtCustomCss
wdtBaseSkin
wdtAvgFunctionsLabel
wdtInstallDate
wdtRatingDiv
wdtMDNewsDiv
wdtTempFutureDate
It is rather cumbersome to do all this, but unfortunately at the moment, it's the only way.
Important to note, for tables linked to an existing data source, you would need to change the file path, because at the moment the file path depends on the domain, so if you change the domain, the URL to the file will also have to be changed.
Our developers will be working on adding an easier solution to export everything, but we can't say an ETA on this.
- There are also certain export functionalities, to export individual tables using Table Tools.
(Just note, that feature is not available for Simple Tables)
-
If you also need to switch domains;
In our store you can go to "My Licenses" and click on the "Manage Domains" button:
From there, you will be able to deactivate the old domain (while it's still active), and then simply activate the new domain in wpDataTables settings/Activation, once you move the site.
3. If you wish to browse a comparison between all plans for their features :
You can compare the features between all Plans from Lite(free), then Premium versions from the Starter all the way up to the Developer Level, in the Plugin back-end Dashboard, under "Lite vs Premium".
You can also see this on the pricing Page, but here in the Dashboard, we show more details about each specific feature, etc.
If you don't have any installation now on your WordPress, you can easily see this on our Demo Sandbox Website.

And i just wanted to point out that you can try wpDataTables before purchasing
on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo,
as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),
and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period,
so if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)
I have created tables on a dev site. I need to export them to the live site. Is this possible if I purchase the STARTER option?
thanks
David
Hi David,
Our Export table data (PDF, Excel, CSV, Copy and Print) Tools Feature is available across all our Plugin versions, even the Lite/free version.
But, this feature is not available for the Simple Tables, because they have their own logic how the data is being saved via our Plugin, this table type is unique, different from other DataTable types.
So at the moment, unfortunately we don't have an 'out of the box' solution to export, for example Simple tables one by one like that via Table Tools, if that is what you intend to achieve.
