    Hello,

    Sorry – I tried to find this answer somewhere else (and scouring the source code to no avail).

    I want to use the TablePress Extension (Column Filter Widgets) when the search box (that comes with TablePress) is turned off (when I uncheck searching/filter or datatables – this gets ride of the search box – when that happens – I want TablePress Column Filter Widget to still talk with the database. (this way, it is only one search field instead of showing two).

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    I see what you mean. Essentially, the “Search” checkbox needs to be active to load the corresponding functionality. However, you can then hide the search field again with CSS code. For example, add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

    #tablepress-123_filter {
  display: none;
}

    where 123 is the table ID.

    Regards,
    Tobias
