   Hello,

   I need to use the WP_Terms_List_Table class in my plugin in order to list the categories in a "WordPress like" table (I can remade the table, but it's not efficient).

   I tried this code :
   

   $_POST['taxonomy'] = 'category';
   $tax = get_taxonomy( 'category' );
   
   if ( !current_user_can( $tax->cap->manage_terms ) )
       wp_die( __( 'Cheatin’ uh?' ) );
   
   $wp_list_table = _get_list_table('WP_Terms_List_Table');
   $pagenum = $wp_list_table->get_pagenum();
   $title = $tax->labels->name;
   add_screen_option( 'per_page', array('label' => $title, 'default' => 20, 'option' => 'edit_' . $tax->name . '_per_page') );
   
   $wp_list_table->prepare_items();
   
   $wp_list_table->display();

   The table exists, but still empty. In fact, not really empty, the tbody looks like this :
   

   <tbody class="list:tag" id="the-list">
           <tr class="alternate" id="tag-7">
             <td></td>
           </tr>
           <tr id="tag-6">
             <td></td>
           </tr>
           <tr class="alternate" id="tag-5">
             <td></td>
           </tr>
           <tr id="tag-4">
             <td></td>
           </tr>
           <tr class="alternate" id="tag-9">
             <td></td>
           </tr>
           <tr id="tag-3">
             <td></td>
           </tr>
           <tr class="alternate" id="tag-1">
             <td></td>
           </tr>
         </tbody>

   The categories lines exist, but without any informations (name, slug,...).

   What should I do in order to obtain a correct table ?

   Thanks in advance, sorry if my english is weird, I'm French.

   There's an example of using the WP_List_Table class inside a plugin in this ticket here, see the two patches attached by Scribu.

   The example is invalid.
   If you look at lines 19-45 of wp-admin/includes/list-table.php you will see that in _get_list_table function there is no way add a custom $core_classes. If a $core_classes doesn't exist then the function returns false instead of a new class.

   The way to solve the problem is to overwrite get_column_info in you custom WP_List_Table class.

   Thanks ! I don't work on this module at this time, but I'll try this as soon as possible.

   I finally found a solution:

   if(!class_exists('WP_Terms_List_Table')){
     require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-wp-terms-list-table.php' );
   }
   
   <strong>set_current_screen( 'edit-<em>your_taxonomy</em>' );</strong>
   $terms = new WP_Terms_List_Table();
   $terms->display();

   The most important thing is to set the proper screen.

   You also need to add &taxonomy=your_taxonomy to the page adress.
