All I am trying to find out is how to list the content of a table. All I find is information based on the assumption that I have paid for the premium product. I haven’t. THe video for Data Tables simply states ‘click on the add button’. I don’t have one. So I askl myself what value is there with this plugin without the premium paid for option ?
The “add button” is available in both the free and the premium version. Of course!! 🙂
So, the question is: “why don’t you see the add button”?
(1) Is your repository valid? Check here:
> Settings > WP Data Access > Manage Repository
(2) Is some css code hiding it?
> Use the inspector to see if you can find the missing button!
Can you send me a screenshot? Use the contactform to send it in private!
Hi Luke, sorry to hear you encountered issues. Do you mean you don’t see the “Create data table” button? See here: https://share.getcloudapp.com/mXuGl2v0
Could you send us a message here so we can take a closer look at your setup?
I have a table holding opening times – these change on occasion so I though I would store them in a table so that they can be changed easily without editing the actual web page – just testing this out at the moment. This is all sort of working well, but how can I display the content of the table without the column labels and number of rows count displaying?
I can’t seem to find an easy way to do this, and was expecting to be able to select something in the forms section when I created a View only form. Is there a shortcode parameter that I am unaware of? Or is it just impossible?
You can change how your table looks by adding options to your data table. More information here: Advanced settings
You can also target the specific elements using CSS. Just make sure to target the specific table IDs and elements.
If you’re a premium user, an additional option called Premium Extensions allows you which part of your table you want to hide. See here: Extension Manager
Hope that helps! Let us know if you have more questions.

What text string am i looking for to find the “missing Add Table” button in Inspector?
Is there a way to add values from two different tables?
Hi George,
You can create a view by joining two tables using the Query Builder. You can then create a data table using that view. 🙂
I hope that answers your question!
Hello, my table defaults to showing only 10 rows. I would like it to default to 25 rows. How do I change the default behavior?
Hi Sam,
Please use the pageLength options to change the number of rows show per page. This feature is documented here:
https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-tables-advanced-features/advanced-settings/
Search for: pageLength and lengthMenu
Hope this helps.
I am using the Free version of the plugin. I cannot see any Add button at WP Data Tables > Build a Table. Builder. How do I add/create a Ttable?
