Icon in table not showing

Hi @sarasotasam,

May we know how many columns are set to display on your table?

Is the table also public? Please send us the link so we can check.

We’ll wait for your reply!

I reduced the columns to 4 to see if that was the issue, but the Button icon still is missing.

I am developing on locahost right now, so I can not show you it.

Hi @sarasotasam ,

Can you please send us a screenshot of any JavaScript errors present in DevTools?

You can do so by right-clicking the page and clicking on inspect element. Any JavaScript errors will be present under the console tab. Please see: https://share.getcloudapp.com/7KuzbbK2

We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Could not get a screenshot but here is the text in console:

JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.3.2

Hi @sarasotasam,

The error appears to be from a separate plugin (Popup Maker).

We’re doubtful that it’s causing an issue with WP Data Access, but you can try to deactivate it temporarily to see if there are any changes.

Basically, the icon will show up only if the number of columns set in Publication Type is less than the total number of columns in your table. See here: https://share.getcloudapp.com/Qwu8bzJN

For example, if there are 10 columns in your data table, and you’ve set the responsive table to show exactly 10 as well, the icon will not show.

If the number of columns is set to 0, the plugin will judge if it needs to collapse the table based on the container width, which is likely why you’re not seeing the icon on your table.

If your table has a total of 4 columns, you can set the number of columns in Publication Type to 1-3, if you want the icon to show.

Please see this demonstration: https://share.getcloudapp.com/GGu7297L

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have more questions.

You were right the Popup Maker plugin was not the issue. The issue was I had 0 in the number of columns. Now the icon is showing.

I have a couple of columns that I have selected to be editable, but that does not show in the published table or the popup detail. Must be missing something.

A little while ago I saw documentation on a companion of WP Data Access that adds more features to the core plugin, but I cannot find it now.

Hi @sarasotasam,

Published tables aren’t meant to be editable. To make a table editable, you will have to create it as a Data Project, create a page for the table and then publish to the front end using the shortcode [wpdadiehard].

Please see this page for more information: Projects and templates | WP Data Access

A little while ago I saw documentation on a companion of WP Data Access that adds more features to the core plugin, but I cannot find it now.

Do you happen to remember what features they were?

We’ll wait for your response. ??

It was an addon that added more features to WP Data Access such as clicking on the table and being able to have the record show in a page. I remember it was around $38 for a year.

On your main page there is not listing of addons.

My mistake, the addon was for WPDataTables.

Hi @sarasotasam,

I see. Thanks for the clarification!

Do you still need help with your original issue?
