 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Just to be sure, you must install and activate both of these TablePress Extensions:

   [https://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-row-filter-date.zip](https://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-row-filter-date.zip)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Then, please try to get the Row Filter Extension to work first (without the Row
   Filter By Date functionality), i.e. try if a Shortcode like
 *     ```
       [table id=1 responsive=collapse filter="10/11/2022" filter_date_columns=1 /]
       ```
   
 * works. After that, please try again with the Row Filter By Date Extension. Make
   sure to use proper upright `"` quotation marks, as sometimes curly ones can slip
   in from copy/paste.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * im getting there and when it works, ill make a donation
 * the curly braces threw everything off..so its fixed…
 * im trying to understand the difference between the row fuilter and row filter
   by date..it seems the row filter has the same functionality unless I missed something

 * Hi,
 * ah, yes, those braces would indeed break this functionality… Nice find!
 * The Row Filter Extension essentially brings the actual functionality, of filtering
   rows by a (static/pre-defined) string. The Row Filter by Date Extension builds
   on top of that and essentially generates that filter string from certain command
   keywords (e.g. `today` will be transformed to `10/16/2022` which will then be
   used in the filtering).
 * Regards,
    Tobias
