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!

Okay

    Hi, thx for the good video but I do not understand where wpdatatables knows the WP user-id from.... I see no connection between the user-id in the table and the user id from Wordpress . . .

    In the video you are registered with user 1 = Is this the wp_user ID ? And where do I have to connect this in the new table? Sorry, sure a stupid question, but I can´t reproduce this example.

    Hi hcmeyer,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    I do not understand where wpdatatables knows the WP user-id from
    - There is a function in WordPress where you can get current logged in user - wp_get_current_user();

    In the video you are registered with user 1 = Is this the wp_user ID?
    -     Yes, that is WordPress User ID

    And where do I have to connect this in the new table?
    -     I don't understand this question. Can you describe it in more details. When you are creating a table where you want to Allow users to edit only their own data you have to:

    • Click “Front-end editing” checkbox to enable front-end editing;
    • Click “Users see and edit only their data” checkbox to enable the features of editing only own rows.
    • Select “user_id” in the “User ID Column” dropdown.
    • Scroll down to the columns settings and untick the “Visible” checkbox for the “User ID” column since we don’t actually need to see this information in the table.
    • Save the table.
