However I have a question: * Imagine four columns (for example : ” name”, ” firstname “, ” phone “, ” specialty” => “House ,” ” Gregory “, ” 011002003004 “, ” internist ” ) * We seek specialty ” internist .” The search engine finds the word. OK It seeks” nephrologist ” specialty. Tss , tts not OK, because the word does not exist. Normal. You tell me add the word ” nephrologist ” in the specialty column. OK. * But it turns out that Dr. House is nephrologist , but infectious disease and I would like Dr. House is also entering a whole series of keyword. I want that these keywords are hidden. * In fact I have about 100 keywords to find Dr. House and I do not want to clutter the display with the keyword column . * = > My question OK , hide from tablepress function to hide a column. I would like to hide a column allowing possible access to the words contained in the column. This would look without displaying a list of keywords relevant to the public. Is there a solution ? * sincerely Google Traduction pour les entreprises :Google Kit du traducteurGadget TraductionOutil d’aide à l’export Désactiver la traduction instantanéeÀ propos de Google TraductionMobileConfidentialitéAideEnvoyer des commentaires * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-hidden-but-active/#post-4370887) * Hi, * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble. * I think I understood what you mean, and the solution is to hide the column in a different way: Instead of hiding it on the “Edit” screen, you should hide it with CSS. So, add a fifth column with all the other search words relevant for the entry. Then, add this to the “Custom CSS” on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress: * ``` .tablepress-id-123 .column-5 { display: none; } ``` * (Adjust the table ID and column number as necessary.) * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [zarc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zarc/) * (@zarc) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-hidden-but-active/#post-4370890) * I just tested, it’s perfect When I finish my new website .. for a hospital in France, rest assured that I will make a “donation” .. sincerely thank you House thank you: now you can find it with the word “TobiasBg”! * Thread Starter [zarc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zarc/) * (@zarc) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-hidden-but-active/#post-4370891) * Resolved * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-hidden-but-active/#post-4370892) * Hi, * no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!

I’m almost done my project. The last one is vital. I have a database with two hidden columns. One is “Availability: YES or NO. I want to NEVER EVER show the NO entries, but currently all searches still display the NO matches, even if the column itself is hidden. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-hidden-but-active/#post-4371076) * Hi, * as you have opened a separate threa at [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-search-displays-matches-to-hidden-columns](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-search-displays-matches-to-hidden-columns), I’ll reply there shortly. * Regards, Tobias Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Column hidden but active’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/icon.svg?rev=3192944) * [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) ## Tags * [active](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/active/) * [column](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/column/) * [hide](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/hide/) * 8 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * Last activity: [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-hidden-but-active/#post-4371076) * Status: resolved
