Every time i try and create a google sheet table, it says unable to access data. I attached screenshot. Also, on existing tables that I haven't touched, I get the message "wpDataTables was unable to access data. Unauthorized access. Please make file accessible." It doesn't make sense because I haven't changed any access settings on these pages since. What is going on here?
Thank you for reporting this. Yes, we have multiple users having the issue, and we also reproduced it. Here is what we have found so far :
The demo sheet from our documentation was created a long time ago using an older version of Google Sheets, so we can't reproduce the issue with that sheet.
However, if we create a new Google Sheet now, we can reproduce the issue, and it keeps throwing the following error:
"wpDataTables was unable to access data. Unauthorized access. Please make file accessible."
I am urgently escalating this to our QA team and developers.
We will do our best to isolate the issue and find either a temporary workaround or a fix as quickly as possible.
As soon as we have an update on our end, I will notify you right away.

Currently experiencing this as well. Most of our tables now shows the error.
I double checked the publishing and sharing options but none have changed. Recreating the table and linking it doesn't work for me as well.
I hope a fix can be done ASAP
