 * Hello,
    I would like to change the default settings when creating a new table.
   This would save me so much time, and would make it easier for other authors to
   create tables. The only two boxes that should be checked are: – Use the following
   functions – Allow users to sort table
 * I apologise for the possibility of some wrong English, I am using a dutch language-
   pack with TablePress.
 * ps. By default all of the options are checked.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * This is possible with a TablePress Extension, similar to the one from [http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-off-new-tables/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-off-new-tables/)
   
   In that, you’d basically need to replace the line
 *     ```
       $table['options']['use_datatables'] = false;
       ```
   
 * with
 *     ```
       $table['options']['datatables_filter'] = false;
       $table['options']['datatables_paginate'] = false;
       $table['options']['datatables_lengthchange'] = false;
       $table['options']['datatables_info'] = false;
       $table['options']['datatables_scrollx'] = false;
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
