Column-Specific Search Boxes Disappearing

    Our non-profit has five databases set up using WP Data Access. These have worked properly for several months. However, yesterday a member of our Board identified an anomaly. The column-specific search boxes at the top of each table column would not display IF a user was not logged in as a member of the organization. We tested the anomaly across five computers using Windows 10 and Linux Mint and such browsers as Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Since the databases were working properly for such a time we suspect that a change in WP Data Access, our WordPress theme or on the hosting platform itself has created an interaction that expresses as our anomaly with the search boxes.

    Would it be possible to take a quick look at our code and let us know if something unworkable “jumps off the page”.

    Thanks.

    Hi Wayne,

    There is a message in the console:
    Uncaught Cannot extend unknown button type: print

    Can you please check your buttons? This error might block other features and further processing.

    Please let me know if this helps,
    Peter

    Peter,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tend to agree but I cannot understand why being logged into the Ontario Genealogical Society website as a member allows for near perfect performance but a non-member cannot access most features in the table if almost any commands are included in the Data Publisher.

    Under “Table Options” in the Publisher the commands below are the only ones that I can get to work at the moment for non-members.

    `{
    “dom”: “Bflrptp”,
    “wpda_buttons”: “F”,
    “wpda_searchbox”: “header”,
    “wpda_search_placeholder”: “icon”,
    “wpda_search_placeholder_prefix”: “”,

    “stateSave”: true

    }’

    Are these scripts written in JSON and could they be blocked by security, like Wordfence, for example?

    Is there a debugging tool that I could access for this page in our website?

    Is there a manual for “Data Tables for Dummies” that would explain “in tiny steps” how to construct a script to use in Data Publisher?

    Hi Wayne,

    >>> Are these scripts written in JSON and could they be blocked by security, like Wordfence, for example?

    It looks like all premium files are available. I don’t see any errors.

    Can you check your log file for error? Or give me temporary access to your dashboard for further research?

    Thanks,
    Peter

    Peter: I really appreciate your help. I have turned this problem over to the TSIC for OGS for the moment as they can compare Quinte with another site which runs a similar database. Again, lets consider this “closed for the moment” until I get some feedback from a cross-site comparison. [Wayne]
