 * ​​Hey,
 * I followed every step in this documentation:
 * [https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/creating-wpdatatables/creating-wpdatatables-from-json-input/](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/creating-wpdatatables/creating-wpdatatables-from-json-input/)
 * Unfortunately I always get the the following failure: “Table in Data Source has
   now rows”. I think that shouldn’t happen with your example JSON data.
 * Please help me as this is very urgent.
 * Just installed the plug-in two hours ago so it should be the latest version.
 * Thanks!
 * All the best!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexample-json-from-documentation-dow%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there.
 * Thanks for reaching out to us. When you access the template file in our documentation,
   it will open it in the same tab of your browser.
 * So, all you need to do is copy that URL: [https://wpdatatables.com/sample_files/employees.json](https://wpdatatables.com/sample_files/employees.json)
   and create a table linked to an existing data source. Then, paste this URL and
   apply. It will generate the file.
 * We just tested it out, and it is working fine.
 * Kind regards.

 * That’s crazy. Did the same again and it worked. You are sure you fixed nothing
   there? 😛 But thanks!

 * Hi again.
 * Sorry for the late response. We never received a notification you replied.
 * We did not change anything, so perhaps there were some extra characters left 
   in the URL when you originally copied the link.
 * Glad to hear it’s working, though.
 * Kind regards.
