Hello dfrank0043.

Thank you for your purchase.

This cannot be done with custom CSS, or any settings within the plugin. You would need to open ../wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wpdatatable.php and around line 3084 find this line of code:

$obj->dataTableParams->sDom = "BT<'clear'>{$showRowsPerPage}{$globalSearch}{$scrollable}{$infoBlock}p";

If you want to move the table tools before pagination, you need to change it to this:

$obj->dataTableParams->sDom = "<'clear'>{$showRowsPerPage}{$globalSearch}{$scrollable}{$infoBlock}BT<'clear'>p";

So the outcome is:

Or, below the pagination:

$obj->dataTableParams->sDom = "<'clear'>{$showRowsPerPage}{$globalSearch}{$scrollable}{$infoBlock}p<'clear'>BT";

And the outcome:

You can move them around any way you'd like to change the location of the tools.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

Hi again dfrank0043.

This should remain the same, you just need to access the file again every time an update occurs, since this is a workaround, not a permanent solution.

If you're still having trouble with it, please provide me a temporary WP-admin login for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue. We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course we do not provide login data to third party. You can write credentials here just check Private Reply so nobody can see them except us.

Also make sure the Plugin Editor is enabled, so I can access the files without FTP.

Best regards.
