 * Hello!
 * I am kind of new to the whole “coding” and asked this question on Datatables 
   but didn’t get any answers that solved my problem just links to sites that needs
   some expertise in coding.
 * I have a table on my website that I’m kind of satisfied with but I can’t seem
   to figure out where to find “Child rows” (the green circles with + inside) that
   would make it perfect.(It’s not an self-hosted website, its “hosted” from Loopia)
 * Then I found: [https://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html](https://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html)
   and figured if I could “copy” or import the example table that is shown somehow
   and just edit the text and info that is shown.
    But I can’t for the life of me
   figure out what and how I would import or how I should do it.
 * Appreciate any help!
    Kind Regards John

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not exactly sure that I understand. Are you actually using WordPress and 
   the TablePress plugin for your site?

 * Hi,
 * ok, thanks for the clarification, I was a bit confused because you said “not 
   self-hosted” at first.
 * You can use a TablePress Extension to use that Row Details function. For more,
   please see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-expand-tablepress-row/#post-3741566](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-expand-tablepress-row/#post-3741566)
