 * I’m getting 500 – internal server error when using short code [wpdm_all_packages
   items_per_page=”100″ jstable=1] but it works fine if I limit it by category [
   wpdm_all_packages items_per_page=”100″ categories=”batch-records” jstable=1].
   The only thing that I could think of when selecting all packages is that there
   40,000 files versus the category which is only 200 files. Also it works fine 
   when selecting all packages if I take out jstable=1. Is there a limitation of
   records DataTable can handle?

 * It may cause because of your server problem.

 * [@taten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taten/), it is probably happen for`
   items_per_page="100"` in short-code `[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="100" 
   jstable=1]` as your server failing to process all 100 files at a time, try using`[
   wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20"]` , however I didn’t see it happening for
   anyone else.

 * It works fine when I put in this short code [wpdm_all_packages items_per_page
   =”100″] but I want to be able to do a search on documents as well. By adding 
   jstable=1 to the short code that’s where 500 error occurs. Is there another short
   code that I can use to do documents searching?

 * it is because, when you use jstable=1, it try to query all files, but it is probably
   happening because of your server.
