 * Hi, I’m testing Tablepress with the Column Filter Widget plugin. I’d like a select
   dropdown on one column only. The shortcode is:
    [table id=1 datatables_buttons
   =”pdf,print” datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns
   =1,2,3,4,5,6,8 responsive=flip /]
 * Sadly, no filter appears at all. Not even in the source code.
 * Why?
    Kind regards, M

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this wrong behavior is that both of those used Extensions modify
   the same JS parameter. For a solution, please see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conflict-columnfilterwidgets-and-buttons-1/#post-6715527](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conflict-columnfilterwidgets-and-buttons-1/#post-6715527)

 * Fastest reply ever. Thanks!
 * Last question: is it possible to:
    a. insert the filter widget inside its relative
   table head cell? – or – b. insert the print button on the left and the filter
   on the right (in one row)?

 * Hi,
 * good to hear that this helped!
 * No, sorry, this Extension does not allow adding the filter dropdowns inside the
   table header cells. 🙁

 * Hi Tobias, is it possible to display the buttons after the table?

 * Hi,
 * yes, moving the buttons below the table is possible. You’d need to modify that“
   Custom Command” from the other thread, and move the letter “B” after the letter“
   t”, e.g.
 *     ```
       "dom": "WlfrtipB"
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
