Hello, I'm wanting to condtionally format a column that contains a url link so that everytime a cell value is for exaple '#' or '-' it adds a css class that hides the column, but when I try to make the rule and evaluate the cell content, it doesn't work.
Is it possible to use conditional format on these types of columns? Or maybe hide some columns based on values?
Also, I'm trying to make a table header fixed on top so that when I scroll the header remains on top of the data, I've read that this is a not built in feature on the plugin but, could there be a way to write some custom code so that every table behaves like this?
but that would just hide the column's contents and move the others to the left. So, you'd still have the header and footer active, which cannot be removed dynamically, by adding the conditional rule:
So, there's no way of dynamically hiding the entire column using rules.
Fixed table header would be considered a custom solution, and you can take a look at this link to see if it gives you some ideas as to how it can be implemented.

Hello soportesv.
Thank you for your purchase.
This may not be achieved as easily as one might think. You can add a rule like this:
and then apply the following CSS in Custom CSS under main settings of wpDataTable:
but that would just hide the column's contents and move the others to the left. So, you'd still have the header and footer active, which cannot be removed dynamically, by adding the conditional rule:
That just looks bad.
You can add this CSS:
so the table looks like this:
Now it hid the contents of the first column.
So, there's no way of dynamically hiding the entire column using rules.
