Filtering broken with Gravity Forms

  • Disclosure: I have a wpDataTables Pro subscription under a different account, with some addons.

    Filtering for Gravity Forms data using back-end processing is broken. To do it effectively requires exposing your entire data stream to the users browser and using front end filtering.

    Back end filtering was working slightly better recently, until the last update. Now, back end filtering for Gravity Forms (on simple forms too) isn’t functioning at all for my data.

    This should just be a database query – I’m not understanding why, after several years of having a pro licensed product, this feature still isn’t implemented and functional.

    Hello there!

    Thank you for your feedback!

    The plugin works with the Gravity Forms core plugin, but if you have any other add-ons for Gravity Forms installed, we can’t guarantee that it will work correctly.

    As indicated in the notice above tables created with Gravity Forms, after turning on server-side processing (which is necessary for editing), sorting and search may start to behave unexpectedly. We plan to work with the Gravity team to improve it in future versions.

    Gravity stores their data in multiple database tables, so the query needed is far from simple, otherwise, we wouldn’t have created an add-on for the plugin, but instead would have a simple query that could be used with the MySQL query-based tables.

    We’re sorry to hear that you’re having issues with the plugin, but please feel free to reach out to our support managers through our official support platform, and they’ll do their best to help you out.

    Kind regards
