# Problems with Column filters

 * On this responsive page there are 4 columns that don’t show in compressed mode.
   But if look at this screenshot [https://www.screencast.com/t/Xal9hwot](https://www.screencast.com/t/Xal9hwot)
   you can see 4 phantom boxes taking up space and interfering with the column format.
   Then, if you click on the green expand icon button, the page layout changes.
 * The four columns are queryable but not individual column filterable.
 * If I remove this from the table options the problem goes away.
    `"wpda_searchbox":"
   header",`
 * Can I get rid of this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblems-with-column-filters%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * the only thing is `"wpda_searchbox": "header",` if I delete that one setting,
   all is good but I loose the top column search fields which we prefer.
 * heres the whole thing
 *     ```
       {
       	"dom": "flirpBtip", 
       	"wpda_buttons": "CYF",
       	"wpda_searchbox": "both",
       	"wpda_search_placeholder_prefix": "icon",
       	"select": {
       		"selector": "td:not(.wpda_select)",
       		"style": "multi" 
       	},
         "scrollX":"0"
       }
       ```
