    Hi there,

    I have a small question that I hope somebody can help me with.

    Is there a way to manually delete table id’s?

    Let me give you an example. I have made a table with [wpdatatable id=1] assigned to it. After a while I realize that I am not satisfied with the table, so I want to delete it… However, when I create a new table (even though I am starting from scratch again) it names the new table: [wpdatatable id=2].

    Normally, that wouldn’t be a huge problem, but after deleting a few tables here and there, it becomes a bit unorganized.

    So if I decide to delete a table that has [wpdatatable id=1] assigned to it, I want my new table to be called [wpdatatable id=1] as well because it serves as a replacement of the old one.

    Is that possible?

    Thank you for your time (and help!) 🙂

    Hi, ventiskie
    At this time, unfortunately, that is not possible to achieve in any way.
    Even with the Premium plugin version, we can not completely delete a table ID;
    And even if we go into the database to manually remove “all traces of the table”,
    it is always going to “skip this table ID”, when we make a new one.
    That is how the basic structure of the tables is made in the database;
    the same applies for all tables available in the Lite version > which applies to all table types.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.
    Kind regards.
