 * Yes, here is how the fields look:
    “new_content_path”;s:8:”.content” “new_include_path”;
   s:8:”.include”
 * Again I do not desire the periods, it just started happening. Can’t trace it 
   to a plugin either, this is with everything disabled! And if I try to change 
   it within phpMyAdmin it just resets all settings to this:
    `a:4:{s:15:"module_settings";
   a:0:{}s:13:"recovery_code";s:32:"49445319e0a2d970b101b5784d75c35f";s:7:"version";

 * Hey Tobias,
 * It’s been over half a year since I’ve started this thread and I still have not
   implemented this solution due to lack of WordPress plugin knowledge. Again, the**
   $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering** API (documented here [http://datatables.net/examples/plug-ins/range_filtering.html](http://datatables.net/examples/plug-ins/range_filtering.html))
   will greatly speed up my website and improve user experience if I can filter 
   all rows that contain a 0 in my column “Quantity”. Perferrably I would like this
   value set by default, with the ability for the user to change it so they can 
   edit the range filtering in real-time.
 * My company is in dire need of a solution, as our website is currently displaying
   over 1,000 cells! My boss has already agreed to invest/donate to TablePress if
   need be.

 * I hope to hear back from you soon.

 * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-periodic-table-import-google-sheets/#post-5334439)
 * I am able to perfectly import everything from Google Sheets into TablePress, 
   you just need to have the right URL.
 * Here’s mine:
    [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nvhgY0zoDi5sATPMPGvdszQi6bSNhTvzfQ-SISiysUQ/export?format=csv](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nvhgY0zoDi5sATPMPGvdszQi6bSNhTvzfQ-SISiysUQ/export?format=csv)
 * And by example, this would be yours:
    [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nKiYASIMwgvoFqFtXlk4xlPmtUrhi-qJE3V_ocliQlQ/export?format=csv](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nKiYASIMwgvoFqFtXlk4xlPmtUrhi-qJE3V_ocliQlQ/export?format=csv)
 * You will notice that if you’re not logged into your Google account, it will ask
   you permission to view that CSV file we just generated. This is because you’re
   not publishing to the web publicly. You can do this by going to File – Publish
   To The Web
 * You will need to do this before you will see successful imports. Good luck!

 * Great! That fixed it! I’m learning more and more CSS tricks by the day :]
 * Hey, this post from two months ago makes it sound like TablePress already includes
   the **$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering** function?
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-does-not-work-fndatatableextafnfilteringpush?replies=4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-does-not-work-fndatatableextafnfilteringpush?replies=4)
 * Is there a way to call this within TablePress already or will it need to be implemented
   through an extension?
 * Thank you so much for your help so far!

 * Thank you for your response! Excuse me for my late reply, been busy with work.
 * I was actually able to find a function within DataTables that can accomplish 
   my original request of “Filtering Rows if Cell in Specific Column Contains X”
   called **$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering**.
    [http://datatables.net/examples/plug-ins/range_filtering.html](http://datatables.net/examples/plug-ins/range_filtering.html)
 * I have not yet implemented this into TablePress, nor do I know how, but I’m actively
   looking into it.
 * As for **Bug #1** you can visit this test page I made:
    [http://tech4lesswholesale.com/tobias-test/](http://tech4lesswholesale.com/tobias-test/)
 * **Bug #2** fixed itself somehow, must have been some code somewhere conflicting
   with the fixedheader. I actually have decided to permanently disable the theme’s
   fixed header for now to conserve vertical space on lower resolution computers.
 * **Bug 3#** is low priority and I guess I can ignore it for now.
 * As for my requests, thank you for your input! I was able to accomplish **Request#
   3** with “sToolTip”, keeps the site looking clean 🙂
 * Your suggestions for **Request #1** didn’t help I’m afraid, maybe it’s because
   I’m not editing either <div> or <select>? I added those values inside TablePress’s
   Plugin Options, which looks like:
 *     ```
       .column-filter-widget {
       	display: inline;
       	text-align: right;
       }
       ```
   
 * On my site, float: right; exists just to get the filtering to appear on the right
   side of the page instead of the left. The problem is of course, when using float
   it reverses the order of the filtering from left-to-right to right-to-left.

 * Thank you for your quick response,
 * Ahh I figured as much, while my PHP skills are severely lacking I’ll look into
   editing that extension. I do like that everything is commented, so in theory 
   it should be easy, but as I said I am quite the novice.
 * I have a few other problems that I am trying to work out, some of which are bugs
   present in TablePress. Do you mind if I quickly ask you them all in this thread
   for a quick response on each? I would really appreciate it!
 * Bugs
    1) Fixed Headers on Table Overlap Tippy Tooltips
 * I tried editing the z-index on the wordpress plugin “Tippy” but no matter what,
   the fixed headers on the table overlap the tooltip. I suspect this is the way
   the Table Headers are being rendered. You think you have a quick CSS fix for 
   this? 🙂
 * 2) Search breaks Fixed Header on Theme (Fruitful) if Symbol is used
 * I used to have my theme’s “sticky header” enabled along with “datatables_tabletools_fixedheader_offsettop
   =130” in order for the Table Headers to appear below the Page Header (speaking
   of which, I tried to accomplish this myself but luckily I found a post where 
   you implemented this feature in, thanks!) so my visitors can access the menu 
   at any time without having to scroll up, but I realized that the search in TablePress
   somehow disables this function completely if a symbol is used in a search (e.
   g. AT&T). Very weird bug.
 * 3) Fixed Headers on reload of page are in the wrong position, instantly correct
   when scrolled
 * I have no idea why it’s doing this. It seems to never replicate this error upon
   the first load, but after each reload the Headers hover a few pixels where they
   actually should be, covering up other elements in the process. The second a user
   scrolls, they snap right back into place.
 * Requests
    1) Left to Right Positioning of Column Filter Widgets
 * I’m currently using float:right which reverses the order, I know this is a novice
   issue but I have tried everything to get the widget to show up on the right side
   of the page and in the correct order.
 * 2) Bold First Unique Cell in a Column (e.g. Multiple BlackBerry entries, only
   first one bold)
 * I just want to know if this is feasibly possible. I’m looking for a way for visitors
   to quickly identify while scrolling for a particular brand. Alternatively, what
   I’m really looking for is the functionality that books have had since the dawn
   of time, “Chapters” if you will that quickly identifies where you are on the 
   spreadsheet. Having the same Brand (Apple, Samsung, etc) repeated throughout 
   the spreadsheet makes it hard to quickly identify a unique entry.
 * 3) Visually Labeling TableTools Functions
    I love the Table Tools function! But
   I want my visitors to be able to identify with the buttons. I did have text awkwardly
   spaced above the buttons as a quick fix, but I would love a better alternative
   for labeling these guys so the average visitor can identify what each button 
   does.
 * THANK YOU AGAIN TOBIAS! Besides these few issues and requests, I am extremely
   satisfied and grateful for the time you have spent managing this plugin and especially
   the patience you express with us noobs 🙂
