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!
I constructed a table with the personnel records.
All on a query on the wordpress DB. It works correctly but if I select: ENABLE Server-side processing, filters and search do NOT work correctly.
If I disable it, the table is slower to build but filters and search work correctly.
How come? What can I do to enable it serverside but also have filters and search active and working?
thanks
Hello,
First of all, I sincerely apologize for the delayed response. We've been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets, and I'm truly sorry it has taken longer than usual to get back to you. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
Could you show me the SQL Query that was used for this table - and I can advise if maybe some small modification/correction is needed to get the search to work?
-
But you can also check these points to save time if you wish.
Our logic is based on a PHP SQL parser which has full support for the SQL dialect for the following statement types
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, REPLACE, RENAME, SHOW, SET, DROP, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TABLE, EXPLAIN and DESCRIBE.
Some of them are disabled for security reasons.
Filtering, sorting, and search may not work properly if you include:
-
So, first you can check for accent graves around the table name, if you have this, remove it...
Then, see if you used CONCAT to create any column.
If so, go into this column setting, and disable it from "global search" in the Filtering tab.

If none of that helps,
you can try preparing a MySQL view (which will return the data that you need, call it e.g. “view1” and then build a wpDataTables based on a simple query like "SELECT * FROM view1″.
If you need help with that, you can see our video, where we show an example of using View in our plugin.
-
Let me know If that helped, and i can take a look at the Query, as well.
Thank you
Kind Regards,

hello, excuse me!
now i realized your suggestion about creating the view directly in my DB.
it actually works much better now.
although still a little slow...everything works though.
do you have any other suggestions? :)
Is there a caching system for sql queries?
I saw that you only have it for physical files?
