 * Hi maaper,
 * Sorry for trouble,
 * Those kind of errors can happened when you have created tables from existing 
   data source like Excel or CSV. There are notices in our [docs](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/creating-wpdatatables/creating-wpdatatables-from-excel/)
   about that
 * Please note: Once you create a table from an Excel or CSV file, changes in this
   file, like:
 * Changing the column’s name,
    Changing the column’s order, Deleting the column,
   and Adding a new column. are highly not recommended, because the table in the
   wpDataTable plugin will not work, at the moment. If you make any of these changes,
   please recreate the table again.

 * Thank you that was exactly the issue, I made some change in the column name.
   
   Do you have any plan to solve that and avoid that ugly error also reproduced 
   in the frontend?
 * Thanks for your help.
