Q: Thanks for coming to appsumo...

two questions for you

(1) Does this live sync with google sheets in both directions (ie, if I add data to sheets it will be updated on WP on the next refresh and conversely, if a user adds to the table on WP, will this be pushed to the connected Google sheets automatically?)

(2) I read in another question that devs are working on masking license key, but I am wondering if there will be license control fro a dashboard. I need to be able to de-license clients if we part ways. If this is coming, ETA and will it be included in this LTD or will it be an add-on?

Thanks for (hopefully) quick answers.. this leaves AppSumo so soon I need to decide quick! :)

A: Hi there,
Thank you for your interest in our plugin.

1) At the moment there is no 2 way sync, the only option that is available is when you change something in the Google Spreadsheet that change will be applied to our tables, but not vice versa.

2)
From the dashboard, no, but you can control the domains in the store ( the login to the store will be available when you purchase the plugin)
Unfortunately we do not have precisely the date when this will be available.

Best regards.

Q: Hi there, I purchased the 5 license deal last night - I have tried to redeem it today (on your landing page here = https://wpdatatables.

com/appsumo/), using the Appsumo code in my account. After filling it in and submitting the form, it says to check my emails. Nothing comes through (I have checked spam too).
So I then tried to setup a support ticket in https://tmsplugins.ticks but it won't let me as it says the purchase code is invalid??
So I then went back to your landing page to try and submit it again, and now that ALSO says the purchase code is invalid??!

Not great.

Please can someone give me a support email or phone number that I can contact to get this sorted out urgently please.

Thanks,
Keith

Thank you for your purchase.

Can you please open a pre-purchase question on our support platform and our agents will help you out.

Probably there was a typo in an email that you used to redeem the codes.

Q: Bought it and had the worst experience.

Couldn't even make it work, my email associated was canceled and service couldn't help.

They didn't even respond.

Didn't like it.

Don't recommend it.

Not even a small part of it.

A: Hi Lucas

wpDataTables is compatible with most WP themes, however, as we cannot guarantee which theme in particular will allow 100% functionality 100% of the time (as themes are updated as well - if we make wpDataTables compatible with one theme, it's developer might update it, and that update may cause conflict with the plugin; something that we cannot influence in advance); so it is ultimately client's choice to try out themes, and see if they are satisfied with both performance of the plugin and theme's aesthetic.

This table is created using the Aqua skin, with some modifications in the main settings. For instance, the surrounding borders are removed, and the table is automatically sorted in ascending fashion by the first column. There is some custom CSS added but no additional plugins were used so you should be able to create a similar table using the plugin's builtin features.

Q: I had bought wpdatatables via codecanyon some years ago but never renewed support there.

I am looking into purchasing a lifetime license via Appsumo. That said I have a question...

Does your support include assistance with the mysql queries? For some reason I had several issues with the queries generated by the constructor..... Errors would be triggered and not being a developer meant that most of the time I wasn't able to find a solution. Does lifetime support include assistance with such issues?

Thank you

A: Hello there!

Thank you for being our long-term customer.

Included support doesn't cover writing custom MySQL queries. The included query constructors are not ultimate query constructors but should be treated as helpers, that construct a suggestion of a query. Often, you will need to work on your queries to get the desired data in the table.

Our support agents can take a look at your query, but the query constructor usually creates a complex query, that would need to be overwritten almost entirely, so that would fall under creating custom queries, which is not included in the provided support. We can offer some advice, but writing queries can't be provided.

Kind regards.

You can use the same purchase code on 5 domains, and an unlimited number of subdomains. So, each site can have an unlimited number of subdomains where the same purchase code is active.

Q: Looks like wpDataTables and wpAmelia is from the same company/developer.

Just wondering if you have plans to offer wpAmelia back here at Appsumo =D.

I would love to buy full stack wpDataTables and wpAmelia together.

A: Hi there!

Thank you for your purchase.

If you're entering the AppSumo redemption code, that's why our support system doesn't allow you to open a new ticket. You need to provide the last purchase code you received from us (if you stacked more codes) as that one is the active purchase code, while all previous ones have been deleted.

You can see your purchase code when you log into our store. We cannot provide you with a 30% discount until we verify your purchase, so please try opening a new ticket. If you're having a hard time with the support platform, you can open a pre-purchase ticket, which doesn't require a purchase code, and anyone can open a ticket in that category.

Just make sure to open a private ticket, where you can provide us with the redemption code, and we'll find it in the database and provide you with the purchase code, the discount coupon, and everything else you may need.

Kind regards

A: Hello Russell.

The plugin doesn't yet have a native integration with WooCommerce, but our developers are working on that, so it should be included at some point in the future.

At the moment, you would only be able to use MySQL query-based tables to pull the data you need from the database, and display it in wpDataTables. If you are not that familiar with SQL queries, you could use our Query Constructors, but please note that they are just helpers - not ultimate query builders, so you will often need to play around with the resulting query in order to display the data you need.

Kind regards.

A: Hi there!

1) Unfortunately, since each tab has its own URL, you would need to create a new table for each tab in your Google Spreadsheet.

2) At the moment, freezing columns and rows can only be achieved with some custom code. Our developers are looking into adding this as a native feature, but it's not yet possible.

If you're interested in freezing columns and rows with custom code, please reach out to our agents via our official support platform, and we'll gladly help you there.

Q: Hi there, Is it possible to add images right from the google spreadsheet?

For example, I want to create a table that includes images, but not sure if I can add them to the spreadsheet and then import the table to the plugin or if I have to add them inside the plugin?

A: Hello!

If you include images in a Google Spreadsheet, you wouldn't be able to see them in wpDataTables. The only way you can transfer images over would be to add them with an <img src... HTML tag, like this:

<img src="url-to-the-image" width="50">

That will pull the image with a thumbnail width of 50px.

Kind regards

A: Hello!

This looks like a table with an image and a button that leads to another website, so you should have no issues creating a table like this.

You can use a combination of column types:
Image columns - https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/column-features/image-columns/
String columns - https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/column-features/string-columns/
URL Link columns (with a button instead of a hyperlinked text) - https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/column-features/url-link-columns/

You can test the plugin on our sandbox site, and see if it suits your needs before purchase: http://sandbox.wpdatatables.com/wp-admin/

A: Hello there!

There is a difference between stacking 4 codes on AppSumo, and purchasing the Lifetime Developers license on our website, and that difference is only the price.

If you stack 4 codes here, you're getting a lifetime, unlimited-domain-usage, license for $236, while on our website, it would cost $589.

Everything else is the same - you're getting all the features of the plugin, and you can use the license on an unlimited number of domains and subdomains.

Kind regards!

Q: Hi, Curious, The missing Add-ons is a big turn off.

At least you could allow customers to pick 2-3 add-ons based on their need.

At $49 and missing Add-ons, this deal isn't a Sumo worthy deal. Compare at other deals where they are going to incur monthly video hosting, API costs, transcript generation etc. etc. this one doesn't have any monthly operations charges for the usage from customers.

Low number of sales is an indication that this one isn't a sumo worthy deal.

It's pitty that this is your second trip to AS and you still didn't listen to the customer feedback.

Hope you reconsider your stance and improve the deal.

A: Hi there.

Thank you for your suggestion, we will consider it for the next AppSumo promotion if we come back.

The cost of a single-domain, annual license, is $59, while in this deal, you're getting the 5-domain, lifetime license, per the same price. This plan doesn't even exist on our website, and the closest one to it is a 3-domain (Pro) lifetime license, that costs $389.

This deal is only for the core plugin, and we understand that you may need some of our add-ons, and that's why we provide a 30% discount for all our add-on's lifetime licenses if you purchase the deal on AppSumo.

If you need further explanations about what each add-on provides, please feel free to reach out to us, and we'll gladly explain everything in detail.

Our team will reconsider adding add-ons in the next promotion (if we come back), where they would most likely be added by stacking additional redemption codes. All this needs to be done in agreement with AppSumo's team, so we will engage them as well.

Thank you for your suggestion, once again, and please feel free to let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Q: I use brandmentions for social listening.

They have a webhook to send alert notifications in realtime. Here is the link: https://help.brandmentions.com/en/articles/4425185-how-do-get-alerts-using-webhook

So, what is the process for using this feature and bringing that data to my wpdatatable website? Do you support webhook directly? or we should use google sheet? if we should use google sheet do u have a support for achive integration?

Can you let me know please how I can get clear data and less headache?

if it can work I will go to stack some codes. Thank you.

A: Hi there, thanks for reaching out.

We don't have webhooks at the moment, so if you can write that data in Google sheets, you will be able to create a table using one of the two methods:

https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/creating-wpdatatables/creating-wpdatatables-from-google-spreadsheets/
https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/connect-wordpress-tables-with-google-sheets-api/

You need to have that spreadsheet filled for wpDataTables. Try adding data to the sheet and test it on our sandbox site: http://sandbox.wpdatatables.com/wp-admin/

It should be working fine, but please check and let us know.

Kind regards.
