Turn a feature on site-wide, per table, or per shortcode, and it applies to any table that has the built-in “Use DataTables” option enabled. Features in this version: * **Responsive mode** — on small screens, columns that don’t fit collapse into an expandable row, so tables stay readable on phones. * **Column filter dropdowns** — a select box per column (all columns, or the ones you pick) that filters the table to one value. * **Column search fields** — a text input per column for live, as-you-type substring searching of that column. * **Search panes** — filter panes above the table showing each column’s values with counts; click values to filter (with cascading and totals). * **Search builder** — build condition-based filters (column + condition + value) combined with AND/OR groups. * **Search highlighting** — the current search term is highlighted in matching cells. * **Column reorder** — visitors drag columns to reorder them; the order is remembered per visitor (with a reset button). * **Export buttons** — Copy, CSV, and Print buttons above the table, in their own row so pagination and search are untouched. * **Fixed header** — the header row stays visible while you scroll the page. * **Frozen columns** — freeze one or more leading columns while scrolling sideways. * **Row grouping** — group rows by the values in a column. * **Index column** — a leading auto-numbered column that renumbers as the table is sorted, filtered, or paged. * **Alphabet search** — A–Z buttons that filter a chosen column by first letter. * **Auto pre-filter** — apply an initial search term when the table loads. * **Content highlighting** — colour cells or rows based on their content (e.g. numbers over a threshold, or a matching category). * **Fuzzy search** — a typo-tolerant global search, so “banna” still finds “Banana”. * **Inverted filter** — an “Invert” toggle that shows the rows which do NOT match the search. * **Row filtering** — show only the rows that match a rule (e.g. one category, or a value over a threshold), rendered server-side. * **Row reorder** — visitors drag rows to reorder them for their own view (does not change the saved table). * **Advanced pagination** — choose the pagination style and a custom page-length menu (including “All”). * **Table layout** — reposition the length menu, search box, info text and pagination. * **Default table style** — set site-wide colours (header, stripe, border, hover), striping, row density and border style. This is an independent add-on. It is **not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TablePress** or its author; the name is used only to describe compatibility. The plugin does nothing when TablePress is inactive or when a paid TablePress plan is in use. #### How to use 1. In TablePress, make sure the table has the **“Use DataTables”** feature enabled( Edit table Table Options). 2. Enable the features you want on the **Rowlane Table Extras** settings screen — either as site-wide defaults or per table. 3. Or set them per shortcode, e.g. `[table id=1 te_responsive="on" te_buttons="copy, csv,print" te_fixed_header="on" te_column_filters="all" te_column_search="1" te_search_panes ="all" te_search_builder="on" te_search_highlight="on" te_column_reorder="on" te_fixed_columns ="1" te_row_group="2" te_index_column="on" te_alphabet="2" te_auto_filter="Fruit" te_highlight="5:gt:30:green;2:eq:Bakery:blue:row" te_fuzzy="on" te_invert="on" te_row_filter="2:eq:Bakery" te_row_reorder="on" te_paging_type="full_numbers" te_length_menu ="10,25,50,all" te_layout="bottom" /]`. The same keys work in the TablePress block’s“ Configuration parameters” field. Content highlighting rules are `;`-separated as `column:operator:value:color[:scope]`— operator is one of eq, neq, contains, gt, lt, gte, lte; color is green, red, yellow, blue, orange, or gray; scope is cell (default) or row. Row-filtering rules use the same `;`-separated `column:operator:value` form (a row must match every rule to be shown). The default table style is a site-wide setting only, on the Table Extras settings screen. #### Privacy The plugin makes no external requests and stores no personal data. All scripts and styles are served from your own site. ## Screenshots [⌊A table collapsing responsively on a narrow screen.⌉⌊A table collapsing responsively on a narrow screen.⌉[ A table collapsing responsively on a narrow screen.

No. Enable a feature and it applies to your existing tables and shortcodes. It only enhances tables that have TablePress’s “Use DataTables” option turned on. ### Does it work with the TablePress block? Yes. Put the same attributes (for example `te_responsive=on`) in the block’s “Configuration parameters” field. ### I use TablePress Pro/Max. Will this conflict? No. On any paid TablePress plan the add-on automatically stands down, because those plans already provide these features. ### Which libraries are bundled? The DataTables JavaScript library and its Select, SearchPanes, SearchBuilder, Responsive, Buttons, FixedHeader, FixedColumns, RowGroup, ColReorder, and RowReorder extensions, plus mark.js for search highlighting (all MIT-licensed). See `assets/datatables/ LICENSES.txt`. ### Where is the source for the bundled JavaScript? assets/datatables/te-datatables.min.js is a concatenation of the above libraries’ official npm distributions plus this plugin’s own un-minified helper sources in ` assets/js/src/`. The exact versions are pinned in `package.json` and listed in ` assets/datatables/LICENSES.txt`. Rebuild it from source with `npm ci && npm run build` (the build is `assets/js/build-datatables.mjs`); `npm run dist` produces the distributable package.

With the index column on, all other features’ column numbers still refer to your original data columns. #### 1.5.0 * New: Column search fields — a debounced, as-you-type text search input per column( substring). Coexists with the dropdowns in one filter row and follows column reorder. #### 1.4.0 * New: Column reorder — visitors drag columns to reorder; the order persists per visitor (30 days) with a reset button, and column filter dropdowns follow the new order. #### 1.3.0 * New: Search highlighting — the current search term is highlighted in matching cells (via mark.js). #### 1.2.0 * New: Search builder — condition-based filtering (column + condition + value, with AND/OR groups). #### 1.1.0 * New: Search panes — filter panes above the table with per-value counts, cascading, and totals. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release: responsive mode, column filter dropdowns, export buttons (Copy/ CSV/Print), fixed header, frozen columns, and row grouping. ## Meta * Version **1.7.0** * Last updated **1 day ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.7 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [fixed header](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/fixed-header/)[responsive tables](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/responsive-tables/) [tablepress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/tablepress/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rowlane-table-extras-for-tablepress/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
